Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

We recently celebrated our 30-year anniversary and are proud to have pioneered run-off 
solutions as a mainstream part of the insurance industry. Over this period, we have completed 
116 transactions covering varying size, complexity and lines of business, while successfully 
navigating numerous insurance cycles. We intend on continuing to provide new and 
innovative risk management and capital release solutions to our global partners long into the 
future. We maintain our nimble approach and are well-capitalised to take advantage of the 
many opportunities in an ever-growing sector of the market. As always, we remain committed 
to delivering long-term value for our shareholders.  

We are rooted in a marketplace that has seen significant inflows of alternative capital, 
increased competition and the entrance of opportunistic start-ups in the legacy market. At the 
same time, we have seen competitors retrench and pull away.  It is a good reminder that the 
barriers to success are very high, and they centre around discipline, a strong view towards risk 
management and the requirement for sustained operational excellence over the long term. 
Our decades of experience and investment in all these areas distinguishes us from others in 
the P&C run-off industry. 

2022 Recap
2022 was a year of positive developments for Enstar despite the challenging macro 
environment. The performance of our core run-off business was again strong, and the 
resilience of our business model evident. Our highly differentiated claims function, strong M&A 
and investment capabilities, operational and disciplined risk selection process, and financial 
strength have enabled us to continue as the dominant player in the legacy market. 

Our ability to deliver consistent and favourable results for our stakeholders is a testament to 
the excellent work of the entire Enstar team. To call out a few notable highlights:

•  We generated Run-off Liability Earnings (“RLE”) of $756 million, compared to $403 million 
for 2021. On an adjusted basis, which removes the impact of changing interest rates on 
certain of our reserves and other adjustments as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 
10-K, we recorded $489 million in 2022 versus $381 million in 2021.

•  We acquired $2.7 billion of total liabilities, including completing the industry’s third-largest 
non-life run-off reinsurance transaction in history with Aspen Insurance Holdings (“Aspen”).  
This loss portfolio transfer (“LPT”) agreement significantly expanded and diversified our 
portfolio while further cementing our status as the world’s largest legacy market reinsurer.

Annual CEO letterFrom Dominic Silvester,  Chief Executive OfficerWe remain 
comfortable with our 
asset allocation and 
expect to generate 
additional value 
over the long term, 
despite current 
market challenges.

Our operational and RLE results were solid contributors to our overall performance. However, 
similar to other (re)insurance companies, much of our investment portfolio is allocated to fixed 
income securities, and our results were adversely impacted by the rapid rise in interest rates. 

For the year, we recorded a net loss attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $906 
million, negative return on equity (“ROE”) of 15.6% and negative adjusted ROE* of 1.1%. Book 
Value Per Share (“BVPS”) decreased by $1.6 billion to $246.20 per share from $329.20 per share 
as of December 31, 2021, largely driven by unrealised losses on our fixed income portfolio. 
These assets are closely matched to the duration on our claims liabilities and provide liquidity 
for payments as they come due. As such, we consider ourselves predominantly buy-and-hold 
investors and expect to benefit from the reversal of unrealised losses as the securities we hold 
approach maturity.  

Beyond our core fixed income portfolio, we have a well-diversified allocation with respect to 
our non-core or risk assets, and take a medium to long-term view on performance. Our risk 
assets return was also adversely impacted given double-digit losses in the broader equity 
markets. That noted, we remain comfortable with our asset allocation and expect to generate 
additional value over the long term, despite current market challenges.

Annual CEO letterFrom Dominic Silvester,  Chief Executive OfficerSustainable and Profitable Business Model Drives 
Shareholder Value
While many may view run-off reinsurance as a complex industry, our business model is simple, 
consistently generates value and is largely self-financed through capital redeployment. There 
are three core components:

1.  Source, Diligence and Acquire Portfolios 

We leverage our in-house expertise and industry relationships to source and evaluate 
opportunities. Our experienced claims experts partner with our M&A team throughout this 
evaluation. In most cases, we do not outlay any cash consideration to the cedant when 
acquiring a portfolio.  

2.  Actively Manage Liabilities and Investments 

Our claims team focuses on settling claims faster and striving for better-than-expected 
outcomes. Our investments team builds bespoke portfolios to match expected cash flows 
and generate superior risk adjusted returns.

3.  Redeploy Capital 

Upon settlement of claims, capital is released and made available for the next set of 
opportunities, thus completing the recycling of capital while creating returns through  
the process.

ENSTAR RUN-OFF BUSINES MODEL

In 2022, we fortified 
our status as the 
partner of choice for 
many of the world’s 
leading (re)insurance 
groups. In particular, 
one deal exemplifies 
our robust M&A 
capabilities, and that 
is the completion 
of our $3.1 billion 
LPT agreement with 
Aspen.

In 2022, we fortified our status as the partner of choice for many of the world’s leading (re)
insurance groups. In particular, one deal exemplifies our robust M&A capabilities referred to 
earlier, and that is the completion of our $3.1 billion LPT agreement with Aspen. That single 
deal included onboarding approximately 38,000 claims, or an additional 40% claims count. 
That’s a significant undertaking and a remarkable operating achievement.  

We also completed an LPT agreement with Argo Group International Holdings, assuming net loss 
reserves of over $700 million, and completed a reinsurance-to-close transaction with Probitas 
Managing Agency Limited, demonstrating our commitment to servicing the Lloyd’s market. 

We substantially completed the unwind of Enhanzed Re’s reinsurance contracts with our partner 
Allianz SE. While this venture was successful, with an inception-to-date return in excess of 23% 
on our investment, we did not see the future scalability of the platform in its current form. We 
remain open to other assumed life opportunities should they provide an attractive diversified 
earnings profile and the right risk-reward balance.

Experience, diligence 
and discipline lead 
to effective claims 
management and 
extraction of value 
from our acquired 
loss portfolios.

Actively Manage Claims – The Enstar Effect
Our ability to consistently drive better outcomes through claims management is what we call 
the “Enstar Effect”. It is essential to our culture and deeply embedded within every aspect of 
our claims management operations throughout the lifecycle of the businesses we manage.

The Enstar Effect commences from the moment we perform due diligence on a potential transaction. 

Once we acquire a book of business, we triage and review the portfolio and immediately define 
settlement strategies on a claim-by-claim basis. We then turn our attention to executing on 
our core principle of resolving claims expeditiously and equitably. This speed and efficiency 
are key tenets of how we create value, which also serves the interests of our policyholders.

We know from decades of experience in all facets of the claims process, including expertise 
in litigation, that claims typically do not improve with age. And in the current inflationary 
environment, early assessments are more critical than ever.  

The Enstar Effect is clearly visible in our performance. For example, on workers’ compensation 
and asbestos claims, we have surpassed the industry by an average of 600 to 800 basis points 
since 2017, and on casualty by 200 basis points. Experience, diligence and discipline lead to 
effective claims management and extraction of value from our acquired loss portfolios.

Actively Manage Investments 
We have a robust investment allocation process for acquisitions. We assess current market 
conditions and allocate to investment opportunities in-line with our long-term objectives 
while taking various constraints into consideration. We utilise external asset managers who 
have best-in-class asset management capabilities across a wide variety of asset classes, 
enabling us to create bespoke portfolios for each transaction.

3 We calculated the change in estimates of net ultimate losses for the last 5 calendar years divided by average net loss reserves on our three 
largest lines of business within our Run-off segment (General Casualty, Workers’ Compensation and Asbestos & Environmental), and compared 

the results to the total of the Combined US P&C Industry (source: US Annual Statements through SNL). To remove any potential distortions due 

to mix of accident years, we have matched the industry reserves’ accident-year-weighting to match Enstar’s. 

4 The weighted average reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses divided by average net loss reserves by line of business for the five-year 
period ended 2021 was as follows: i) General Casualty –Enstar (0.7)%, Industry (3.2)%; ii) Workers’ Compensation –Enstar 10.3%, Industry 4.4%; 

and iii) Asbestos & Environmental –Enstar 0.4%, Industry (8.1)%.

Annual CEO letterFrom Dominic Silvester,  Chief Executive OfficerOur business model 
finances itself as we 
paid over $1.7 billion 
of net loss reserves 
in 2022, freeing up 
capital to deploy.

Strong Capital 
We began 2022 with a solvency capital ratio of 179% and closed with an estimated ratio in 
excess of 200%. Our business model finances itself as we paid over $1.7 billion of net loss 
reserves, freeing up capital to deploy elsewhere.

We also had the excess capital to opportunistically repurchase $341 million of our common 
shares during the first quarter of 2023. Active capital management is critical to us, and we 
remain focused on deploying capital to the most value-accretive opportunities for our 
shareholders.   

From a capital markets perspective, we continue to maintain strong access and in January 
2022, we took advantage of a favourable market and proactively issued $500 million in 5.5% 
Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Notes due 2042, before the rapid increase in rates. We 
have no debt maturities in the near term and currently, all of our debt is fixed at attractive 
costs of capital. Our balance sheet remains strong and is well-positioned for the future.

ESG & Sustainability
We strive to build a sustainable business that positively contributes to the health and 
wellbeing of people, societies, and the environment. The way we think about ESG continues 
to evolve and, in 2022, we made further advancements to our ESG agenda and credentials, 
which demonstrates our appreciation of the importance ESG has to the long-term delivery of 
shareholder value.  

The improvements are evident in our organisational commitment to combat climate change, 
to actively consider ESG within our investment portfolio, and to nurture human capital. It’s 
a leadership priority to make these goals part of our acquisition and investment strategies, 
and we will do so as an investment in the global community, but also in our Group’s long-
term value. For further detail, please refer to our separate ESG report which will be released 
later this month on the Sustainability section of enstargroup.com. The report includes seven 
notable accomplishments: 
•  We recruited our first Head of ESG; 

•  We selected Climate Action and Gender Equality as the core UN Sustainable Development 

Goals on which our efforts will focus;

•  We baselined our greenhouse gas emissions;

•  We continued our climate-change scenario analysis work;

•  We developed a detailed long-term strategy to cover diversity, equity and inclusion;

•  We formalised a new volunteering policy; and 

•  We strengthened our ESG reporting and risk management processes.

We continue to discover how sustainability is complementary to the performance of financial 
businesses with a long-term horizon, and, with that knowledge, are taking actions to further 
align ourselves.

Annual CEO letterFrom Dominic Silvester,  Chief Executive OfficerI am confident 
that we are better 
positioned with 
more attractive 
opportunities today 
than ever before to 
deliver excellence 
to our partners and 
long-term value to 
our shareholders.

Seamless Leadership Transitions
We are fortunate to have built an experienced executive team that truly showcases our bench 
strength, consisting of highly seasoned professionals who are ideally qualified to continue 
Enstar’s track record of growth. In March 2023, Paul O’Shea, our long-time Group President 
who joined us in 1994, retired after 28 years. He remains on our Board and we are very 
thankful for his service and support over the decades. 

Orla Gregory, who has served in numerous senior roles at Enstar over the past 20 years and is 
a Board member, succeeds Paul as President. David Ni, our Chief Strategy Officer, who joined us in 
2019 with a focus on M&A, has assumed Paul’s responsibilities in this critical area of our business.  

We also announced two other changes to our Executive Team in March: Paul Brockman 
was promoted to Chief Operating Officer in addition to his role as Chief Claims Officer, and 
Matthew Kirk has taken over Orla’s former role as Chief Financial Officer, following his role as 
Group Treasurer and Head of Investor Relations. 

We have tremendous confidence in this group’s ability to step up into larger leadership roles 
at a critical time in our development. 

Looking Ahead – Building on our Momentum 
We entered 2023 on the back of a strong fourth quarter performance and, during the first 
quarter, we announced two new legacy acquisition deals – a $1.9 billion LPT with leading 
insurance group QBE, and an AUD$360 million (USD $245 million) deal with RACQ Insurance 
Limited. This is a strong start to the year and reinforces our leading position in providing LPT 
solutions,  which have become a mainstream tool for active capital management by robust 
insurers who wish to focus on today’s opportunities.

The QBE transaction, which is our second significant collaboration with this partner, is unique.  
Not only are we providing cover for discontinued lines, we are also delivering our expertise 
on seasoned liabilities within ongoing lines of business as a source of value creation. This 
transaction is a testament to our creativity and entrepreneurial spirit as an organisation to apply 
our expertise to the ever-changing needs of our clients and partners. I am confident that we are 
better positioned with more attractive opportunities today than ever before to deliver excellence 
to our partners and long-term value to our shareholders. Importantly, we maintain a strong M&A 
pipeline with appropriate capital for additional accretive transactions, yet we remain highly 
disciplined and are content to walk away from opportunities that don’t meet our requirements.

I wish to thank every Enstar employee around the world for your dedication, commitment, 
expertise and hard work. You make Enstar the legacy markets leader. I also thank our 
shareholders for their loyalty, and our business partners for their trust. I wish prosperity and 
good health for you all.

On a final note, I want to mention Nimrod “Rod” Frazer, former Chairman and CEO of Enstar 
Group, Inc., who sadly passed away in March of this year. Rod was instrumental in investing in our 
Castlewood business in 2000, and in the 2007 merger transaction that formed the Enstar of today. 
Rod’s business achievements, acumen and determination are the stuff of legend. However, Rod 
was more than an incredible businessman, he was a great friend and champion of Enstar over the 
years, and we are so grateful for his contributions to our success. Thank you Rod, Rest in Peace. 

Sincerely,

Dominic Silvester

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar") is a leading global (re)insurance group that offers capital release solutions through 
our network of group companies. We seek to create value by managing (re)insurance companies and portfolios of 
(re)insurance  and  other  liability  business  in  run-off  and  striving  to  generate  an  attractive  risk-adjusted  return  from 
our investment portfolio.  In this report, the terms "Enstar," the “Company," "us," and "we" are used interchangeably 
to describe Enstar and our subsidiary companies. 

We  acquire  legacy  liabilities  and  (re)insurance  reserves  from  companies  and  provide  retroactive  reinsurance 
coverage for portfolios of (re)insurance business, primarily via loss portfolio transfer contracts (“LPTs”). Additionally, 
we provide reinsurance contracts to other (re)insurers to mitigate some of their risk of future adverse development 
(an adverse development cover, or “ADC”) on insurance risks relating to prior accident years. 

A  run-off  portfolio  is  a  group  of  insurance  policies  generally  described  by  the  accident  year,  line  of  business  and 
jurisdiction  that  an  insurer  that  initially  underwrote  the  risks  seeks  to  exit,  or  put  into  run-off.  The  facts  and 
circumstances  underlying  an  insurer’s  or  company's  (seller's)  decision  to  put  a  portfolio  into  run-off  or  seek ADC 
contracts  varies.  Usually,  the  portfolios  of  risks  have  become  inconsistent  with  the  seller’s  core  competencies, 
provide unwanted exposure to a particular risk or segment of the market and/or absorb capital that the seller may 
wish to deploy elsewhere. These portfolios of risks are often associated with potentially large exposures and lengthy 
time  periods  before  resolution  of  the  last  remaining  insured  claims,  resulting  in  uncertainty  to  the  (re)insurer 
covering  those  risks.   An  owner  of  a  company  with  direct  exposure  to  asbestos  and  environmental  liabilities  may 
wish to dispose of their exposure to such liabilities for similar reasons.

We seek to obtain claims resolutions and settlements on the actual and potentially valid claims within each portfolio 
quickly,  where  feasible,  to  avoid  lengthy  and  continuing  defense  costs.  If  we  are  successful  at  settling  claims  or 
otherwise manage the expected value of the losses for less than our carried reserves, we recognize favorable prior 
period  development  within  our  net  incurred  loss  and  loss  adjustment  expenses.  Similarly,  we  may  experience 
adverse development on the carried reserves if the projected costs of claims exceeds our estimates. We include the 
net development as a component of our performance, or run-off liability earnings (“RLE”).

Our claims handling responsibilities and authorities can vary from contract to contract. Generally, we seek to obtain 
direct claims management authority over our LPT’s and passive claims monitoring, oversight and influence over our 
ADC  portfolios,  where  our  counterparty  would  typically  benefit  from  our  experience  with  managing  similar  claims. 
We may also seek to commute acquired reinsurance contracts and buy back underlying insurance policies, where 
appropriate. 

We  receive  premium  for  our  retroactive  reinsurance  solutions  and  invest  these  funds  to  generate  investment 
earnings.  We  negotiate  the  investment  class,  fixed  income  duration  and  minimum  asset  quality  needed  for  each 
portfolio  with  the  ceding  company  as  these  investments  are  typically  pledged  as  collateral  within  the  reinsurance 
contract.  For  our  remaining  investments  we  decide  within  our  investment  allocation  strategy  the  asset  types,  risk, 
liquidity and expected returns.

The substantial majority of our acquisitions have been in the run-off business, which generally includes property and 
casualty,  workers’  compensation,  asbestos  and  environmental  (“A&E”),  professional  indemnity,  directors  and 
officers,  construction  defect,  motor,  marine,  aviation  and  transit,  and  other  closed  and  discontinued  blocks  of 
business.

Our Strategy

Leverage Management’s Extensive Experience and Industry Relationships

We  leverage  our  senior  managements’  skills  and  experience  to  solidify  our  position  as  a  leading  run-off  acquirer 
with a demonstrated ability to identify and execute growth opportunities.

Engage in Disciplined Acquisition Practices

When assessing potential acquisition targets, we carefully analyze risk exposures, claims practices, reserves and 
our  return  requirements  as  part  of  our  detailed  due  diligence  process.  We  value  opportunities  that  include  risk 
exposures and other characteristics that we have had prior experience managing.   

Manage  Claims  and  Re(insurance)  Contracts  Professionally,  Expeditiously,  and  Cost-
Effectively

We aim to generate RLE by drawing on in-house expertise and trusted third-party relationships to dispose of claims 
efficiently, paying valid claims on a timely basis, and relying on policy terms and exclusions where applicable, and 
litigation when necessary, to defend against paying invalid claims.

Using detailed claims analysis and actuarial projections, we seek to negotiate with policyholders and reinsurers with 
a goal of settling existing (re)insurance liabilities and monetizing (re)insurance assets in a cost efficient manner. 

Prudently Manage Investments and Capital

We strive to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns, while growing profitability and generating long-term growth in 
shareholder value.
2022 Strategic Developments

Substantially Unwound Enhanzed Re’s Reinsurance Transactions

•

•

•

In August  2022,  Enhanzed  Reinsurance  Ltd.  (“Enhanzed  Re”)  entered  into  a  Master Agreement  with  Cavello 
Bay Reinsurance Limited (“Cavello”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar, and Allianz SE (“Allianz”). Pursuant 
to the Master Agreement, Enhanzed Re, Cavello and Allianz agreed to a series of transactions that allowed us 
to unwind the Enhanzed Re reinsurance transactions in an orderly manner.

The transactions included (i) commuting or novating all of the reinsurance contracts written by Enhanzed Re, (ii) 
repaying the $70 million, in aggregate principle, of subordinated notes issued by Enhanzed Re to an affiliate of 
Allianz,  and  (iii)  distributing  Enhanzed  Re’s  excess  capital  to  Cavello  and  Allianz  in  accordance  with  their 
respective equity ownership in Enhanzed Re. 

As of December 31, 2022, all of the transactions were complete, and the impact of transactions completed in 
the  third  quarter  of  2022  (primarily  the  commutation  of  the  catastrophe  reinsurance  with  Allianz)  have  been 
recorded in our 2022 results, while the impact of transactions completed in the fourth quarter of 2022 (primarily 
the  novation  of  reinsurance  of  closed  block  life  annuity  policies  with  Monument)  will  be  reflected  in  our  first 
quarter 2023 results, as we report the results of Enhanzed Re on a one quarter lag.

• Given our rationalization of the Enhanzed Re reinsurance business, we renamed our Enhanzed Re segment as 
the  Assumed  Life  segment  during  the  third  quarter  of  2022.  We  may  leverage  this  segment  for  any  future 
potential assumed life business transactions if and when they occur.

ITEM 1 | Business | Our Business

Our Business

We  acquire  run-off  and  other  (re)insurance  reserves  using  retroactive  reinsurance  contracts  where  we  are  paid 
premium  consideration  to  reinsure,  up  to  a  specified  limit,  underlying  policies  issued  by  other  insurers  who  have 
written these risks in prior accident years. On closing a transaction, the premium we receive is not recognized as 
income,  nor  are  the  liabilities  we  acquire  recognized  as  net  incurred  losses.  These  items  are  recorded  to  the 
balance  sheet  with  any  subsequent  changes  to  the  value  of  ultimate  losses  and  liabilities  recorded  in  the 
consolidated statements of earnings. 

In  addition,  any  difference  between  premium  and  losses  recognized  upon  initial  recognition  of  a  transaction,  is 
recorded as a deferred charge asset (“DCA”) or deferred gain liability (“DGL”) which is subsequently amortized.1

We  acquire  (re)insurance  companies  and  legacy  manufacturing  companies  with  direct  exposure  to  asbestos  and 
environmental  liabilities  (“defendant  A&E  liabilities”),  which  are  either  in  run-off  or  can  be  placed  into  run-off 
following  our  acquisition.  We  receive  investment  returns  from  the  investment  of  the  assets  acquired  with  these 
companies that we use to settle the liabilities acquired, which may take many years to complete.

We  establish  our  best  estimate  of  the  liabilities  we  assume  based  upon  actuarial  analyses  of  the  claims  data 
provided to us by the counterparties, our review of claims files and reinsurance assets, our analysis of claim trends 
and other data supplied as part of our due diligence.  

Accordingly,  at  the  time  we  enter  the  arrangements,  we  do  not  reflect  the  potential  impact  of  our  claims 
management strategies as we have no assurance that our efforts will be successful nor how any development may 
emerge. Similarly, we do not recognize reductions for any potential settlements or commutations that we have not 
executed as we do not solely control any such outcome. 

We strive to generate attractive investment returns and favorable prior period development from our active claims 
management  and/or  claims  management  influence,  via  our  involvement  in  and  oversight  rights  over  the  loss 
portfolios. Our favorable or adverse outcomes are recorded as prior period development (“PPD”) within net incurred 
losses  and  loss  adjustment  expenses  (“LAE”).  We  record  changes  to  the  value  of  our  defendant  A&E  liabilities 
within other income.

As a result, the traditional (re)insurance underwriting ratios (loss ratios and combined ratios) are not relevant to us. 
Net earned premiums are not a significant source of revenue and current period net incurred losses and LAE from 
those  premiums  are  not  a  significant  source  of  losses  for  our  Run-off  segment.  Our  ability  to  generate  favorable 
RLE  or  avoid  unfavorable  RLE  from  our  management  of  acquired  portfolios  can  vary.  RLE  may  be  recognized 
shortly after acquisition of the new portfolio, or may not appear for many years, if at all.

1 Acquire New Business

Sourcing

We  leverage  our  industry  relationships  and  our  position  as  an  experienced  run-off  specialist,  together  with  our 
footprint in the major (re)insurance hubs, to source new business opportunities. We engage directly with companies 
and/or their representative brokers to bid for and negotiate new transactions.

Solutions

Our Run-off business offers a variety of capital release solutions, including but not limited to: 

LPTs:  We  offer  LPTs  in  situations  where  our  clients  wish  to  divest 
themselves of a portfolio of insurance business. In such instances, we 
are able to retroactively reinsure against deterioration of the portfolio of 
loss reserves, subject to any stipulated limits. In the Lloyd's market, we 
to  close  (“RITC”) 
provide  similar  solutions 
transactions. 

through  reinsurance 

ADCs:  In  situations  where  our  clients  are  concerned  about  loss 
deterioration on selected books of business, we offer ADCs whereby we 
reinsure certain losses in excess of our clients’ established reserves, up 
to a pre-determined limit. 

Acquisitions: Where our clients or potential clients want to dispose of 
a  company  in  run-off,  we  may  purchase  the  company.  Such  a 
transaction  is  beneficial  to  the  seller  because  it  enables  them  to 
monetize their investment in that company.

Pricing

We evaluate each opportunity presented by carefully reviewing and analyzing the portfolio’s risk exposures, claim 
practices,  capital  and  reserve  requirements  and  outstanding  claims.  This  initial  analysis  allows  us  to  determine 
whether the opportunity aligns with our strategy and targeted return thresholds. 

If we decide to pursue an opportunity, we price it based on certain assumptions, including: our ability to apply our 
core competencies to negotiate with (re)insureds, resolve valid claims, manage the investments associated with the 
portfolio and otherwise manage the nature of the risks posed by the business or portfolio. 

LPTs  and  ADCs:  Using  actuarial  analysis  and  our  view  of  the  exposure  assumed,  we  determine  the  premium 
consideration that we charge the ceding companies under retroactive reinsurance contracts. 

This  premium  is  generally  lower  than  the  undiscounted  estimated  ultimate  losses  payable  at  inception  due  to  the 
time value of money, in recognition that we will earn an investment return on the assets which support the payment 
of insurance claims in the future. 

Acquisitions:  In  order  to  price  the  acquisition  of  a  company  in  run-off,  we  estimate  the  fair  value  of  assets  and 
liabilities acquired based on actuarial analyses and our views of the exposures assumed. 

The fair value of the company may be lower than its book value based upon the risks assumed, the time value of 
money as applied to its liabilities and to our client no longer having to manage the company.

2 Manage Liabilities

Non-Life Run-off

There  is  a  period  over  which  the  reserve  liabilities  associated  with  LPTs,  ADCs,  acquisitions  and  other  similar 
transactions are extinguished, as described below:

•

•

At take-on: upon integrating the acquired company or portfolio we record our best estimate of the value of loss 
reserves.  We  then  implement  our  plan  to  manage  the  book  and  its  exposures  that  we  gathered  during  the 
course of the acquisition process. 

Subsequent to take-on: in the proceeding years, we develop a deeper understanding of the claims portfolio from 
a reserving perspective and employ our claims management strategies in order to generate RLE. 

After  applying  our  claims  management  strategies  for  a  period  of  time,  there  are  generally  reduced  opportunities 
remaining to achieve RLE. At that point, our goal is to continue to manage costs and generate investment returns as 
we run off the remaining reserves in an orderly manner. 

Both the A&E losses and LAE and defendant A&E liabilities have much longer expected claims settlement periods 
than  our  general  casualty  books  of  business,  and  therefore  the  period  over  which  their  reserve  liabilities  are 
extinguished tends to be significantly longer than other lines of business.  

The strategies we employ to manage our acquired companies and portfolios of business in run-off include:

Claims Management: Integral to our success is our ability to analyze, administer, and settle claims while managing 
related  expenses.  We  work  with  seasoned  and  well-trained  claims  professionals,  along  with  claims  reporting  and 
control  procedures,  in  all  of  our  claims  units.  Our  claims  management  processes  also  include  leveraging  our 
extensive relationships and developed protocols to manage outside counsel and other third parties more efficiently 
to reduce expenses.

For certain lines of business, we have entered into agreements with third-party administrators to manage and pay 
claims on our subsidiaries’ behalf and advise with respect to case reserves. These agreements generally set forth 
the duties of the third-party administrators, limits of authority, indemnification language designed for our protection 
and various procedures relating to compliance with laws and regulations. The agreements clearly define our claims 
handling guidelines, and we provide active oversight and monitoring to manage these administrators on an ongoing 
basis in order to ensure the third-party administrators are operating in accordance with our expectations. 

Commutations and Policy Buybacks: Where possible, we negotiate with third-party (re)insureds to commute their 
(re)insurance  agreement  (sometimes  called  policy  buybacks  for  direct  insurance)  for  an  agreed  upon  up-front 
payment by us. 

Commutations  and  policy  buybacks  provide  us  with  an  opportunity  to  exit  exposures  to  certain  policies  and 
(re)insureds  generally  at  a  discount  to  the  ultimate  liability.  Commutations  can  reduce  the  duration,  administrative 
burden and ultimately the future cost we face as we manage the run-off of the claims and the amount of regulatory 
capital we are required to maintain. 

In  certain  lines  of  business  and  jurisdictions,  such  as  direct  workers’  compensation  insurance,  commutations  and 
policy  buyback  opportunities  are  not  typically  available,  and  our  strategy  with  respect  to  these  businesses  is  to 
derive value through efficient and effective claims management.

Reinsurance  Recoverables:  We  manage  reinsurance  recoverables  by  working  with  reinsurers,  brokers  and 
professional advisors to achieve fair and prompt payment of reinsured claims, and we take appropriate legal action 
to  secure  recoverables  when  necessary.  Where  appropriate  we  negotiate  commutations  with  our  reinsurers  by 
securing a lump sum settlement in complete satisfaction of the reinsurer’s past, present and future liability in respect 
of such claims.

Life Run-off

Our  subsidiary  Enhanzed  Re,  is  a  Bermuda-based  Class  4  and  Class  E  reinsurer,  which,  prior  to  the  November 
2022  novation  to  Monument  Re,  reinsured  a  closed  block  of  life  annuity  policies  from Allianz  SE  (“Allianz”),  who 
retained direct claims management and operational responsibilities.

We may leverage this segment for any future potential assumed life business transactions if and when they occur, 
and our objective for this business is to reinsure products that focus on longevity and investment risks. 

We  seek  to  deliver  returns  by  taking  advantage  of  the  relative  diversification  benefits  on  our  composite  capital 
structure and the capital adjusted return profile of this business relative to our current run-off business. 

Seasonality

We complete most of our loss reserve studies in the fourth quarter of each year and, as a result, we tend to record 
the largest movements, both favorable or adverse, to net incurred losses and LAE in these periods. However, we 
also  monitor  the  progression  of  claims  and  claims  settlements  in  the  earlier  interim  periods  and  may  adjust  our 
reserves if, and when, we deem it appropriate. 

3 Manage Investments

We  manage  our  investments  to  obtain  attractive  risk  adjusted  returns  while  maintaining  prudent  diversification  of 
assets and operating within the constraints of a regulated global (re)insurance group. We also consider the liquidity 
requirements and duration of our claims and contract liabilities.

We have a group-wide investment policy and group mandate, which applies to our consolidated investment portfolio 
and all subsidiary cash and investment portfolios.

Our investment policy:

• Outlines our investment objectives and constraints;

•

•

•

Prescribes permitted asset class limits and strategies;

Establishes risk tolerance limits; and

Establishes appropriate governance.

Our  investment  policy  also  includes  constraints  that  impact  our  asset  allocation  and  external  asset  manager 
selection.

In pursuing our investment objectives, we typically allocate to asset classes with varying risk-return profiles that fall 
into two classifications: core assets and non-core assets.

investment  portfolio 

is 
Core  Asset  Strategy:  Our  core  assets 
predominantly invested in investment grade fixed income securities that 
are duration and currency optimized and matched against the expected 
payment of loss reserves in accordance with our contractual obligations 
with  our  counterparty  insurers  and  as  prescribed  in  statutory  liquidity 
and solvency regulations. Our goal with these securities is to meet the 
expected  maturity  to  support  prompt  payment  of  the  claims,  whilst 
maximizing investment income.

Our  fixed  income  assets  include  U.S.  government  and  agency 
investments,  highly  rated  sovereign  and  supranational  investments, 
high-grade  corporate  investments  as  well  as  mortgage-backed  and 
asset-backed investments.

Non-Core Asset Strategy: Our goal with our non-core assets investment 
portfolio is to provide diversification and increased return. Our non-core 
assets typically include below-investment grade fixed income securities 
and  bank  loans,  public  equity  securities,  hedge  funds,  private  equity 
funds,  fixed  income  funds,  collateralized  loan  obligation  (“CLO”) 
equities,  real  estate  funds,  private  credit  funds  and  equity  method 
investments.

Our core assets, or fixed income assets, include short-term and fixed maturity investments classified as trading and 
available-for-sale  (“AFS”),  funds-held  directly  managed,  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  and  funds  held  by  reinsured 
companies. 

Our non-core assets, or other investments, include equities and equity method investments.

The  allocation  and  composition  of  our  non-core  assets  may  vary,  depending  on  risk  appetite,  current  market 
conditions and the assessment of relative value between asset classes.

We believe our non-core investments provide diversification in our overall investment portfolio, because historically 
and generally they have low correlation with our fixed income assets, thereby providing an opportunity for improved 
risk-adjusted  rates  of  return  while  minimizing  downside  risk  over  the  long  term.  The  returns  of  our  non-core 
investments may be volatile, and we may experience significant unrealized gains or losses in a particular quarter or 
year. Regulatory, rating agency, our internal risk appetite and other factors may limit our capacity to hold non-core 
assets.

Portfolio  Allocation:  Our  portfolio  is  diversified  across  several  core  and  non-core  asset  classes  and  targets 
attractive risk adjusted returns, while taking into account regulatory, capital, risk, and other relevant considerations. 
We periodically review the performance of the portfolio and reallocate assets to take advantage of opportunities in 
the market. This asset rebalancing is periodically reviewed by our Board Investment Committee.

Asset  Manager  Selection:  Our  investment  portfolio  is  managed  by  external  managers  through  the  execution  of 
investment management agreements and investment guidelines. We hold regular discussions with our managers to 
monitor investment performance.

Performance and Compliance Monitoring: Our investment management agreements and guidelines with external 
asset  managers  include  performance  benchmarks.  The  benchmarks  take  various  factors  into  consideration, 
including  duration,  currency,  asset  class,  geography,  sector,  credit  quality  and  other  relevant  metrics  that  impact 
performance.

An  investment  compliance  report  for  the  aggregate  investment  policy  is  prepared  for  our  Board  Investment 
Committee  on  a  quarterly  basis  in  arrears.  The  Board  Investment  Committee  and  our  subsidiary  boards  are 
responsible for ensuring that investment compliance guidelines proposed are aligned to our stated risk appetite.

4 Redeploy Capital

Our regulated subsidiaries and group are subject to capital requirements, which require us to hold additional assets 
to  mitigate  the  risk  of  insufficient  funds  to  fulfill  our  insurance  obligations  in  adverse  economic  or  operational 
circumstances.  Amounts beyond our internal capital levels are available for us to redeploy.

As  we  settle  our  liabilities,  we  reduce  our  required  capital  and  any  excess  capital  may  be  redeployed  into  the 
business  for  further  acquisitions.  We  believe  that  the  best  investment  is  in  our  business,  by  funding  future 
transactions and meeting our financing obligations. In addition, we may choose to add value by returning funds to 
shareholders in the form of share repurchases  or dividends. To date, we have not declared any dividends on our 
ordinary shares. 
Competition

Our  Run-off  segment  competes  in  the  global  insurance  market  with  domestic  and  international  reinsurance 
companies  to  acquire  and  manage  (re)insurance  companies  in  run-off  and  portfolios  of  (re)insurance  business  in 
run-off. The Run-off space has seen several new entrants to the market over the recent years which has increased 
competition in the overall market. 

We compete with different companies depending upon the size of the portfolio losses being contemplated and the 
location of the insurer or insurance risks.  

The acquisition and management of companies and portfolios in run-off is highly competitive, and driven by several 
factors,  including  proposed  acquisition  price,  operational  reputation,  and  financial  resources  including  new  capital 
and alternative forms of capital entering the markets. 

We have established long-term and continuing business relationships throughout the (re)insurance industry, which 
can be a significant competitive advantage for us. Additionally, we believe that we are competitive on price and have 
a reputational ability to complete and manage transactions.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, we had 792 employees, as compared to 832 employees as of December 31, 2021.

We  seek  to  attract,  retain  and  develop  a  diverse  and  specialized  workforce  that  supports  our  culture,  target 
operating model and business performance. We do this by applying the following strategies:

• Making use of a range of hiring channels and approaches and incorporating a total reward offering that includes 
market  competitive  salaries,  an  annual  bonus  plan  as  well  as  comprehensive  benefits  to  protect  employee 
health, wellness and financial security.

•

•

Promoting alignment of interests with investors through the use of an employee share purchase plan and long-
term equity-based incentives. 

Encouraging  our  employees  to  periodically  review  development  areas  with  their  managers  to  identify 
appropriate  learning  opportunities  to  better  equip  our  work  force  with  the  skills  necessary  for  near-  and  long-
term success. We offer an array of professional development programs and initiatives to support our employees' 
career aspirations and enhance our leadership and management capabilities—creating a pipeline of talent able 
to deliver on our long-term strategic objectives and developing a skilled workforce with succession capabilities. 
For  example,  we  provide  all  of  our  employees  access  to  a  digital  platform  containing  learning  resources 
designed to support their role and career.

In  addition,  strengthening  our  succession  planning  is  a  key  priority  for  us  across  all  levels.  We  have  made  a 
significant  investment  in  establishing  and  developing  programs  for  managers,  functional  heads  and  group 
executives designed to enhance leadership and management capabilities across our senior management team. For 
example,  in  2022  we  established  our  Group  Executive  Leadership  Program,  which  is  designed  to  support 
individuals  at  the  executive  level.  We  also  offer  programs  to  regional  executives  and  other  potential  successors 
throughout the organization.  

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We  also  understand  the  importance  of  diversity  in  our  work  force  and  our  diversity,  equity  and  inclusion  (“DE&I”) 
vision is to create a diverse and inclusive workplace, where everyone feels that they belong and where diversity is 
celebrated. Over the past year we increased our focus on DE&I, which included: 

•

•

•

Creating  a  global  DE&I  steering  and  action  group,  chaired  by  our  Chief  Risk  Officer  and  comprising  senior 
stakeholders  from  around  the  business,  which  is  responsible  for  agreeing  the  DE&I  strategy  and  periodically 
monitoring progress.

Enhancing our ‘Employee Value Proposition’ by designing and launching our external ‘Enstar Careers’ website, 
which allows us to clearly articulate the nature of both our business and our working environment.

Launching a summer internship program, hosted by offices in the U.S., the U.K. and Bermuda, and welcoming a 
diverse  group  of  individuals  to  undertake  a  mix  of  industry  training,  departmental  experience  and  personal 
development activities. 

To  measure  our  progress,  we  use  a  variety  of  human  capital  measures  in  managing  our  business,  including 
workforce  demographics  and  diversity  metrics,  attrition  and  retention  metrics  and  hiring  metrics.  We  continue  to 
build and expand on the range of metrics we produce as we continue to work towards our DE&I vision.

ITEM 1 | Business | Human Capital Resources

Table of Contents

We are committed to fostering a culture that treats all employees fairly and with respect, promotes inclusivity and 
diversity, and provides equal opportunities for professional development and merit-based advancement. We adhere 
to these values by following a Board Diversity Policy and Group Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy. We intend to 
continue  conducting  human  capital  management  activities,  including  recruitment,  career  development  and 
advancement, role design and compensation in a manner reflective of our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Employee Wellbeing

We  also  recognize  the  importance  of  our  employees  as  individuals  and  the  role  we  can  play  in  promoting  their 
wellbeing. Our wellbeing strategy is now well defined across three pillars of core focus, which includes: 

•

•

•

Emotional  and  social:  we  offer  an  Employee  Assistance  Program,  which  provides  a  professional  and 
confidential service that covers a broad range of topics, both personal and work-related.  

Physical:  our  benefits  coverage  includes  a  range  of  centrally  provided  and  individually  tailored  health-related 
insurance packages, alongside a number of additional benefits and initiatives. For example, we provide access 
to  a  wellbeing  platform  that  offers  a  range  of  benefits  and  tools  and  hosts  Enstar’s  health  initiatives  and 
challenges, such as our Global Step Challenge held in June 2022. We also offer an Enstar Wellness allowance, 
enabling  an  annual  reimbursement  of  expenses  that  support  mental  or  physical  wellness,  and  various  other 
provisions such as annual health assessments and virtual medical consultation programs.  

Financial: we run a number of activities to support the financial wellbeing of our people, which includes offering 
access to financial advisors, benefit webinars and other financial assistance facilities. 

Our employee engagement, diversity and inclusion results are a clear indication of both our efforts and successes in 
managing and supporting our employees. For the past two years our rating index has been in the upper quartile of 
the financial services benchmark resulting in Enstar being awarded the People Insight ‘Outstanding Place to Work 
2022’ award, which less than 10% of participants receive.

Enterprise Risk Management 

Effective  enterprise  risk  management  (“ERM”)  and  oversight  is  a  top  priority  for  our  management  and  Boards  of 
Directors  (both  at  the  parent  company  and  subsidiary  levels).  We  aim  to  ensure  that  we  have  engaged  in  highly 
comprehensive  risk  management  framework  to  identify,  measure,  manage,  monitor  and  report  on  risks  that  affect 
the achievement of our strategic, operational and financial objectives.

We believe that an effective ERM framework is crucial to maintaining the strength of Enstar and our (re)insurance 
companies (our "Group") and enhancing our operations. These include our business strategy and objectives, capital 
management decision making, operations and processes, financial performance and financial reporting, regulatory 
compliance,  reputation  with  key  stakeholders  and  business  continuity  planning. Through  our  ERM  framework,  we 
aim to embed considerations of risk through all aspects of our business.
Risk Management Strategy

The Group’s Risk Management Strategy has been designed to help meet our core objectives, which is to:

•

•

engage  in  highly  disciplined  and  risk  based,  acquisition,  management  and  (re)insurance  practices  across  a 
diverse portfolio of loss reserves;

seek investment risk where it is adequately rewarded;

• maintain loss reserving risk in line with risk appetite; 

• minimize capital, liquidity, credit, operational and regulatory risks; and

•

promote  the  consideration  of  Environmental  (specifically,  climate  change  effects),  Social  and  Governance 
(“ESG”) risks in the strategies, business planning and other operational processes.

These  strategies  are  pursued  through  the  use  of  appropriate  controls,  governance  structures  and  highly  skilled 
teams effectively working together. 

Our  risk  management  strategy  is  embedded  across  the  organization  by  promoting  a  strong  culture  of  risk 
awareness. This is evidenced through our day-to-day approach to managing our business. In particular, risk matters 
are  regularly  discussed  at  management  and  Board  meetings,  providing  challenge  and  considering  opportunities 
against risks being assessed and managed.

The goal of our risk management strategy is to enable the proactive, pragmatic management of risks arising in day-
to-day operations, primarily through the implementation and maintenance of an effective ERM framework to ensure 
a robust control environment.
Risk Appetite

The  Risk  Appetite  Framework  in  place  at  both  the  Group  and  its  regulated  subsidiaries  monitors  risk  taking 
throughout the business by linking business strategy and planning with available capital and risk. It is designed to 
consider material risks, protect the Group and its subsidiaries from unacceptable levels of loss, compliance failures 
and/or adverse reputational impacts and support the wider strategic decision-making process. 

A qualitative risk appetite statement is set for each material risk to represent the amount of risk the Board is willing 
to  accept,  which  is  supported  by  quantitative  tolerances  (such  as  minimum  capital  required).  The  qualitative  risk 
appetite  statements  and  supporting  quantitative  tolerances  are  reviewed  and  approved  by  the  Board  annually. 
Subsidiary companies’ risk appetite and tolerances are reviewed against their specific risk profiles and strategy and 
approved by the local Board(s), and are reviewed annually to ensure that subsidiary risk appetite does not in the 
aggregate exceed the aggregate Group Risk Appetite Framework.

Accountability  for  the  implementation,  monitoring  and  oversight  of  our  risk  appetite  is  aligned  with  individual 
corporate  executives  and  monitored  and  maintained  by  the  Risk  Management  function.  Risk  tolerance  levels  are 
monitored  and  deviations  from  pre-established  levels  are  reported  in  order  to  facilitate  responsive  action.  On  a 
quarterly  basis,  risk  tolerances  are  reported  by  the  assigned  first  line  business  owner  to  Risk  Management  who 
collate,  review  and  provide  challenge  and  aggregate  tolerances.  Individual  tolerances  are  rated  ‘Red’,  ‘Amber’  or 
‘Green’  relative  to  pre-defined  thresholds.    As  determined  by  the  Board  or  Risk  Committee,  the  Risk  Appetite

ITEM 1 | Business | Enterprise Risk Management

Table of Contents

Framework and tolerance(s) may be reviewed/updated outside of the annual review cycle in the event of a material 
change in risk profile.
Risk Governance and Culture

The  Board  of  Directors  actively  oversees  the  management  of  risks  to  which  the  Group  is  exposed  in  a  variety  of 
ways.  To  ensure  comprehensive  oversight,  the  Company  has  an  EGL  Risk  Committee,  as  well  as  Group  and 
jurisdictional Management Risk Committees comprised of executive and/or senior management responsible for the 
management  of  key  risks.  These  committees  are  supported  by  representatives  from  our  Risk  &  Compliance  and 
Internal Audit functions as appropriate. 

The  Group,  supported  by  the  wider  ERM  Framework,  promotes  a  strong  risk  culture  through  a  rigorous  hiring 
process for employees, performing an annual Compensation Risk Assessment, ensuring employee understanding 
and  compliance  with  the  Employee  Code  of  Conduct,  and  by  promoting  employee  risk  awareness  of  compliance 
and IT security matters through training. 
Risk Ownership, Accountability and Assurance

We  maintain  the  traditional Three  Lines  Model  (Management,  Risk  &  Compliance  and  Internal Audit)  to  delineate 
accountabilities and establish a ‘check and balance’ management of risks across the Group. The Three Lines Model 
has been selected to allow for clear ownership and accountability of risks, and independent assurance that these 
have been considered appropriately via our Internal Audit function. This model also allows for a clear assignment of 
risk  management  responsibilities  across  all  Group  activities  and  helps  communicate  the  approach  to  risk 
management throughout the organization. 

The Risk Management function, headed by the Group Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”), is responsible for both designing 
and  operationalizing  the  various  components  of  the  ERM  Framework  throughout  the  Group.  To  ensure 
independence, the CRO reports to our CEO and has direct access to the Chairperson of the EGL Risk Committee. 
Our CRO obtains expertise from other functions / subject matter experts, as appropriate, to provide coverage over 
key risk areas. 

The Group and its subsidiaries have internal controls in place, designed to manage risks to acceptable levels and 
the  effectiveness  of  controls  is  regularly  considered  in  managing  and  balancing  risk  and  appetite.  These  are 
implemented within each line of defense.

Entity Level Management

At the operating subsidiary level, risks relating to our individual (re)insurance subsidiaries are also overseen by the 
subsidiary  boards  of  directors,  risk  committees  and  other  committees,  and  management  teams,  consistent  with 
applicable regulatory requirements and our overall ERM framework that is embedded at local levels and throughout 
the business.
Emerging Risks

As part of our ERM Framework, we maintain an Emerging Risk Framework, which sets out the minimum standards 
by which emerging risks are identified, analyzed, evaluated, treated and reported on. Pursuant to this framework, 
the Management Risk Committees and our Group Risk Committee continually monitor emerging risks and oversee 
changes  to  our  ERM  Framework  to  react  to  these  risks,  where  appropriate.  Emerging  risks  are  defined  as  "risks 
which  may  develop  or  which  already  exist  but  are  difficult  to  quantify."  They  are  marked  by  a  high  degree  of 
uncertainty, and may or may not fall within the categories outlined above under "Risk Categories." While emerging 
risks are not fully understood or explicitly considered within the day-to-day operation of our business due to the lack 
of quantifiable data, we expect that the potential impacts of these risks may crystallize over time and therefore merit 
additional analysis, monitoring, evaluation and, when appropriate, management of the emerging risk. See "Item 1A. 
Risk Factors" for further detail on these risks.

Regulation

Overview

The business of (re)insurance is regulated in most countries, although the degree and type of regulation varies from 
one  jurisdiction  to  another.  Our  material  operations  are  in  Bermuda,  the  United  Kingdom,  the  United  States, 
Australia and several Continental European countries. We are subject to extensive regulation under the applicable 
statutes  in  these  countries  and  any  others  in  which  we  operate.    In  addition,  the  Bermuda  Monetary  Authority 
(“BMA”) acts as group supervisor of our Group. 

We  may  become  subject  in  the  future  to  regulation  in  new  jurisdictions  or  additional  regulations  in  existing 
jurisdictions  depending  on  the  location  and  nature  of  any  companies  acquired  and  the  volume  and  location  of 
business being transacted by our existing companies. 
Group Supervision

The BMA’s group supervision objective is to provide a coordinated approach to the regulation of an insurance group 
and  its  supervisory  and  capital  requirements.  Bermuda  has  been  recognized  by  the  U.S.  National Association  of 
Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) as a qualified jurisdiction, and the E.U. recognizes Bermuda's full equivalence 
under Solvency II.

As  our  Group  supervisor,  the  BMA  performs  a  number  of  functions  including:  (i)  coordinating  the  gathering  and 
dissemination of information for other regulatory authorities; (ii) carrying out a supervisory review and assessment of 
our Group; (iii) carrying out an assessment of our Group's compliance with the rules on solvency, risk concentration, 
intra-group  transactions  and  appropriate  governance  procedures;  (iv)  planning  and  coordinating,  through  regular 
meetings  with  other  authorities,  supervisory  activities  in  respect  of  our  Group;  (v)  coordinating  any  enforcement 
action  that  may  need  to  be  taken  against  our  Group  or  any  Group  members;  and  (vi)  coordinating  meetings  of 
colleges  of  supervisors  in  order  to  facilitate  the  carrying  out  of  these  functions.  Cavello  Bay  Reinsurance  Limited 
(“Cavello”)  serves  as  our  Group’s  Designated  Insurer.  As  Designated  Insurer,  Cavello  is  required  to  facilitate 
compliance by our Group with the insurance solvency and supervision rules.  

On an annual basis, the Group is required to file Group statutory financial statements, a Group statutory financial 
return, a Group capital and solvency return, audited Group financial statements, a Group Solvency Self-Assessment 
(“GSSA”), and a financial condition report with the BMA. The GSSA is designed to document our perspective on the 
capital  resources  necessary  to  achieve  our  business  strategies  and  remain  solvent,  and  to  provide  the  BMA  with 
insights on our risk management, governance procedures and documentation.  In addition, the Group is required to 
file a quarterly financial return with the BMA. 

We are required to maintain available Group statutory capital and surplus in an amount that is at least equal to the 
group  enhanced  capital  requirement  (“ECR”). The  BMA  has  also  established  a  group  target  capital  level  equal  to 
120% of the Group ECR.

The BMA also maintains supervision over the controllers of all Bermuda registered insurers, and accordingly, any 
person who, directly or indirectly, becomes a holder of at least 10% of our ordinary shares must notify the BMA in 
writing within 45 days of becoming such a holder (or ceasing to be such a holder). The BMA may object to such a 
person and require the holder to reduce its holding of ordinary shares and direct, among other things, that voting 
rights attaching to the ordinary shares shall not be exercisable. 
Bermuda Operations

BMA Insurance Regulation

The Insurance Act 1978 of Bermuda and related regulations, as amended (together, the "Insurance Act"), regulate 
the (re)insurance business of our operating subsidiaries in Bermuda. The Insurance Act imposes certain solvency 
and  liquidity  standards  and  auditing  and  reporting  requirements  and  grants  the  BMA  powers  to  supervise, 
investigate,  require  information  and  the  production  of  documents  and  intervene  in  the  affairs  of  (re)insurance 
companies. 

Significant requirements pertaining to our regulated Bermuda subsidiaries vary depending on the class in which our 
company  is  registered,  but  generally  include  the  appointment  of  a  principal  representative  in  Bermuda,  the 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K

Table of Contents

ITEM 1 | Business | Regulation

appointment  of  an  independent  auditor,  the  appointment  of  an  approved  loss  reserve  specialist  to  opine  on  the 
statutory  technical  provisions  of  our  insurance  reserves,  the  filing  of  annual  statutory  and  either  U.S  generally 
accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) based consolidated or condensed financial statements, the filing of 
annual  statutory  financial  returns,  the  filing  of  quarterly  financial  returns,  compliance  with  group  solvency  and 
supervision  rules,  and  compliance  with  the  Insurance  Code  of  Conduct  (relating  to  corporate  governance,  risk 
management and internal controls). 

Our regulated Bermuda subsidiaries must also comply with a minimum liquidity ratio and minimum solvency margin. 
The minimum liquidity ratio requires that the value of relevant assets must not be less than 75% of the amount of 
relevant liabilities. The minimum solvency margin, which varies depending on the class of the insurer, is determined 
as a percentage of either net reserves for losses and LAE or premiums. Each of our regulated Bermuda-domiciled 
insurers is also subject to an ECR determined pursuant to a risk-based capital measure and are required to file a 
Commercial  Insurer’s  Solvency  Self-Assessment  (“CISSA”),  and  a  financial  condition  report  with  the  BMA. As  of 
December  31,  2022,  each  of  our  Bermuda-based  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  exceeded  their  respective  minimum 
solvency and liquidity requirements. 

Each of our regulated Bermuda subsidiaries would be prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends if it were in 
breach  of  its  minimum  solvency  margin  or  liquidity  ratio  or  if  the  declaration  or  payment  of  such  dividends  would 
cause it to fail to meet such margin or ratio. In addition, each of our regulated Bermuda subsidiaries is prohibited, 
without the prior approval of the BMA, from reducing by 15% or more its total statutory capital, or from reducing by 
25% of more its total statutory capital and surplus, as set out in its previous year’s statutory financial statements. 
Our Bermuda (re)insurance companies that are in run-off are required to seek BMA approval for any dividends or 
distributions.

Economic Substance Act

Under the provisions of the Economic Substance Act 2018 (the "ESA"), any Bermuda-registered entity engaged in a 
“relevant  activity”  (which  includes  insurance  business  and  holding  entity  activities)  must  maintain  a  substantial 
economic presence in Bermuda. To the extent that the ESA applies to our entities registered in Bermuda, we are 
required to demonstrate compliance with economic substance requirements by filing an annual economic substance 
declaration with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.
U.K. Operations

PRA and FCA Regulation 

Our  U.K.-based  insurance  subsidiaries  consist  of  wholly-owned  run-off  companies.  These  subsidiaries  are 
authorized  and  regulated  by  the  U.K.  Prudential  Regulation Authority  (the  "PRA"),  and  are  also  regulated  by  the 
Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA", together with the PRA, the "U.K. Regulator"). Our U.K. run-off subsidiaries 
may not underwrite new business without the approval of the U.K. Regulator.

Our U.K.-based insurance subsidiaries are required to maintain adequate financial resources in accordance with the 
requirements of the U.K. Regulator. The calculation of the minimum capital resources requirements in any particular 
case depends on, among other things, the type and amount of insurance business written and claims paid by the 
insurance company. As of December 31, 2022, each of our U.K.-based insurance subsidiaries maintained capital in 
excess of the minimum capital resources requirements.

The  Solvency  II  framework  sets  out  requirements  on  capital  adequacy  and  risk  management  for  insurers.  To  the 
extent that Solvency II was already adopted by U.K. legislation, it remains in force post-Brexit. Insurers must comply 
with a Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR"), which is calculated using either the Solvency II standard formula or a 
bespoke internal model. Our non-Lloyd's U.K. companies use the standard formula. It remains to be seen to what 
extent the U.K. will depart from the requirements of Solvency II post-Brexit in any new U.K. legislation that may be 
introduced. 

The U.K. Regulator’s rules require our U.K. insurance subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval for any proposed or 
actual payment of a dividend. The U.K. Regulator uses the SCR, among other tests, when assessing requests to 
make distributions. 

Under  the  Financial  Services  and  Markets  Act  of  2000  ("FSMA"),  any  company  or  individual  (together  with  its 
concert  parties)  proposing  to  directly  or  indirectly  acquire  "control"  over  a  U.K.  authorized  insurance  company 
(which is generally defined as acquiring 10% or more of the shares or voting power in a U.K. authorized insurance 
company or its parent company) must seek prior approval of the U.K. Regulator of its intention to do so. A person

Table of Contents

ITEM 1 | Business | Regulation

who  is  already  deemed  to  have  "control"  will  require  prior  regulatory  approval  if  the  person  increases  the  level  of 
"control" beyond 20%, 30% and 50%. 

Lloyd’s Regulation

We participate in the Lloyd’s market through our interests in: (i) Syndicate 2008, a syndicate that has permission to 
underwrite  RITC  business  and  other  run-off  or  discontinued  business  type  transactions  with  other  Lloyd's 
Syndicates; (ii) Syndicate 1301 (2020 and prior underwriting years), which is managed by Enstar Managing Agency 
Limited ("EMAL") (EMAL also serves as managing agent for Syndicate 2008); and (iii) Atrium's Syndicate 609 (2020 
and prior underwriting years), which is managed by Atrium Underwriters Limited, a Lloyd's managing agent.

Our Lloyd’s operations are subject to authorization and regulation by the U.K. Regulator and compliance with the 
Lloyd’s  Act(s)  and  Byelaws  and  regulations,  as  well  as  the  applicable  provisions  of  the  FSMA.  The  Council  of 
Lloyd’s  has  wide  discretionary  powers  to  regulate  its  members,  and  its  exercise  of  these  powers  might  affect  the 
return on an investment of the corporate member in a given underwriting year. This discretion includes the ability to 
assess up to 3% of a member’s underwriting capacity in any one year as a Central Fund contribution. 

The underwriting capacity of a corporate member of Lloyd’s must be supported by providing a deposit (referred to 
as "Funds at Lloyd’s" or “FAL”) in the form of cash, securities, letters of credit or other approved capital instrument in 
satisfaction of its capital requirement. The amount of the FAL is assessed quarterly and is determined by Lloyd’s in 
accordance with applicable capital adequacy rules. To release their capital, Lloyd’s members are usually required to 
have transferred their liabilities through an approved RITC, such as those offered by Syndicate 2008. 

Business  plans,  including  maximum  underwriting  capacity,  for  Lloyd’s  syndicates  require  annual  approval  by  the 
Lloyd’s  Franchise  Board,  which  may  require  changes  to  any  business  plan  or  additional  capital  to  support 
underwriting plans. 

The Lloyd’s market has applied the Solvency II internal model under Lloyd’s supervision, and our Lloyd’s operations 
are required to meet Solvency II standards. The Society of Lloyd's has received approval from the PRA to use its 
bespoke internal model under the Solvency II regime.

Lloyd’s approval is required before any person can acquire control of a Lloyd’s managing agent or Lloyd’s corporate

Our U.S. (re)insurance subsidiaries are subject to extensive governmental regulation and supervision by the states 
in  which  they  are  domiciled,  licensed  and/or  eligible  to  conduct  business.  We  currently  have  wholly-owned 
subsidiary U.S. insurers and reinsurers domiciled in Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma and minority owned affiliates in 
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Illinois.

Our U.S. insurers are generally required to maintain minimum levels of solvency and liquidity as determined by law, 
and to comply with risk-based capital requirements and licensing rules. Insurers having less statutory surplus than 
required  by  the  risk-based  capital  calculation  will  be  subject  to  varying  degrees  of  regulatory  action.  If  any  of  our 
U.S.  insurers  were  to  have  risk-based  capital  levels  that  are  below  required  levels,  they  would  be  subject  to 
increased regulatory scrutiny and control by their domestic and possibly other insurance regulators. As of December 
31, 2022, all of our U.S. insurers exceeded their required levels of risk-based capital. 

Applicable insurance laws also limit the amount of dividends or other distributions our U.S. insurers can pay to us. 
The insurance regulatory limitations on dividends are generally based on statutory net income and/or certain levels 
of statutory surplus as determined by the insurer’s state or states of domicile and approval must be obtained before 
an insurer may pay a dividend or make a distribution above these thresholds. 

All  states  have  enacted  legislation  regulating  insurance  holding  company  systems  that  requires  each  insurance 
company  in  the  system  to  register  with  the  insurance  department  of  its  state  of  domicile  and  furnish  information 
concerning  the  operations  of  companies  within  the  holding  company  system  that  may  materially  affect  the 
operations,  management  or  financial  condition  of  the  insurers  within  the  system.  The  NAIC’s  Insurance  Holding 
Company  System  Regulatory Act  and  associated  regulations  provide  regulators  with  tools  to  evaluate  risks  to  an 
insurance  company  within  the  insurance  holding  company  system.  They  impose  extensive  informational 
requirements on parents and other affiliates of licensed insurers with the purpose of protecting them from enterprise 
risk, including requiring an annual enterprise risk report by the ultimate controlling person of the insurers identifying

the material risks within the insurance holding company system that could pose enterprise risk to the insurers and 
requiring a person divesting its controlling interest to make a confidential advance notice filing.

The NAIC’s Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment Model Act requires insurers to maintain a 
risk management framework and establishes a legal requirement for insurers or their insurance group to conduct an 
Own Risk and Solvency Assessment ("ORSA") in accordance with the NAIC’s ORSA Guidance Manual. The ORSA 
Model Act subjects our insurance subsidiaries to ORSA requirements if certain premium thresholds are exceeded.  
Where applicable, we must regularly conduct an ORSA consistent with the ORSA Model Act, including undertaking 
an  internal  risk  management  review  no  less  often  than  annually  and  preparing  a  summary  report  assessing  the 
adequacy of risk management and capital in light of our insurers’ current and future business plans.

The NAIC’s Corporate Governance Annual Disclosure (“CGAD”) Model Act and Regulation requires the annual filing 
of a disclosure describing the insurance group’s corporate governance structure, policies, and practices. The Model 
Act  and  Regulation  have  been  adopted  in  most  of  the  states  in  which  we  have  insurers  domiciled.  There  are  no 
premium thresholds for CGAD.

Before  a  person  can  acquire  control  of  a  domestic  insurer  or  any  person  controlling  such  insurer,  prior  written 
approval must be obtained from the insurance commissioner of the state in which the domestic insurer is domiciled 
and, under certain circumstances, from insurance commissioners in other jurisdictions. Generally, state statutes and 
regulations  provide  that  "control"  over  a  domestic  insurer  or  person  controlling  a  domestic  insurer  is  presumed  to 
exist if any person, directly or indirectly, owns, controls, holds with the power to vote, or holds proxies representing, 
10% or more of the voting securities or securities convertible into voting securities of the domestic insurer or of a 
person who controls the domestic insurer. 
Australia

Our Australian regulated insurance entity is subject to prudential supervision by the Australian Prudential Regulation 
Authority ("APRA"). APRA is the primary regulatory body responsible for regulating compliance with the Insurance 
Act  1973.  APRA  has  issued  prudential  standards  that  apply  to  general  insurers  in  relation  to  capital  adequacy 
(under  a  wide  range  of  scenarios),  the  holding  of  assets  in  Australia,  risk  management,  business  continuity 
management, reinsurance management, outsourcing, audit and actuarial reporting and valuation, the transfer and 
amalgamation of insurance businesses, governance, and the fit and proper assessment of the insurer’s responsible 
persons. 

APRA  also  prescribes  prudential  standards  on  risk  management  and  governance.  Our  Australian  regulated 
insurance entity is compliant with these requirements. 

An  insurer  must  obtain  APRA’s  written  consent  prior  to  making  any  capital  releases,  including  any  payment  of 
dividends  in  excess  of  current  year  earnings.  Our  insurance  subsidiary  must  provide  APRA  with  a  valuation 
prepared  by  an  appointed  actuary  that  demonstrates  that  the  tangible  assets  of  the  insurer,  after  the  proposed 
capital release, are sufficient to cover its insurance liabilities to a 99.5% level of sufficiency of capital before APRA 
will consent to a capital release or dividend above the prescribed limit. 

Under  the  Financial  Sector  (Shareholdings)  Act  1998,  the  interest  of  an  individual  shareholder  or  a  group  of 
associated  shareholders  in  an  insurer  is  generally  limited  to  a  15%  "stake"  of  the  insurer. A  person’s  stake  is  the 
aggregate of the person’s voting power and the voting power of the person’s associates. A higher percentage limit 
may be approved by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Australia on national interest grounds. Any shareholder 
of  Enstar  with  a  "stake"  greater  than  15%  has  received  approval  to  hold  that  stake  from  the  Treasurer  of  the 
Commonwealth of Australia.
Europe

We have subsidiaries in Belgium, as well as StarStone Insurance SE ("SISE"), a Liechtenstein-based company that 
is  regulated  by  the  Financial  Markets  Authority.  Our  subsidiaries  and  branches  in  European  jurisdictions  are 
regulated in their respective home countries. As of January 1, 2023, the UK branch of SISE is also regulated by the 
UK Regulator following the expiration of the applicable Brexit transitional provisions. The application of the Solvency 
II  framework  across  such  European  jurisdictions  generally  results  in  a  uniform  approach  to  regulation.  Typically, 
such  regulation  is  for  the  protection  of  policyholders  and  ceding  insurance  companies  rather  than  shareholders. 
Regulatory authorities generally have broad supervisory and administrative powers over such matters as licenses, 
standards  of  solvency  including  minimum  capital  and  surplus  requirements,  investments,  reporting  requirements

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Any  of  the  following  risk  factors  could  cause  our  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  historical  or  anticipated 
results. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. There may be additional risks that we currently 
consider not to be material or of which we are not currently aware, and any of these risks could cause our actual 
results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results.  

You should carefully consider these risks along with the other information included in this document, including the 
matters addressed above under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" before investing in any 
of our securities. We may amend, supplement or add to the risk factors described below from time to time in future 
reports filed with the SEC.  

We have categorized our risk factors into the following areas:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Risks Relating to our Run-off Business

Risks Relating to Taxation

Risks Relating to Liquidity and Capital Resources

Risks Relating to our Investments

Risks Relating to Laws and Regulations

Risks Relating to our Operations

Risks Relating to Ownership of our Shares
Risks Relating to our Run-off  Business

Inadequate loss reserves could reduce our net earnings and capital surplus, which could have a materially 
adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

We are required to maintain a best estimate of reserves to cover the estimated ultimate liability for losses and LAE 
for  both  reported  and  unreported  incurred  claims. As  of  December  31,  2022,  gross  reserves  for  losses  and  LAE 
reported on our balance sheet were $13.0 billion. The process of establishing these reserves includes a significant 
level  of  judgment.  As  a  result,  these  reserves  are  only  estimates  of  what  we  expect  the  settlement  and 
administration of claims will cost based on facts and circumstances known to us, as well as actuarial methodologies, 
historical  industry  loss  ratio  experience,  loss  development  patterns,  estimates  of  future  trends  and  developments 
and other variable factors such as inflation. For example, while we monitor and adjust our reserves for the expected 
impact of inflation, the inherent uncertainties and inherent judgments that surround the estimation process make it 
so that we cannot be certain that our ultimate losses will not exceed our recorded estimates of losses and LAE. 

We cannot be certain that ultimate losses will not exceed our recorded estimates of losses and LAE because of the 
uncertainties  and  inherent  judgements  that  surround  the  estimation  process  (which  are  discussed  in  "Item  7. 
Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  -  Critical  Accounting 
Estimates - Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses"). As a result, actual losses and LAE paid will deviate, perhaps 
substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements due to legal, judicial, social or other 
factors. If our reserves are insufficient to cover our actual losses and LAE, we would have to augment our reserves 
and incur a charge to our earnings. Such a charge could be material and would reduce our net earnings and capital 
and surplus. Further,  our success is dependent upon our ability to accurately assess the reserves associated with 
our existing businesses and the business that we will acquire in the future.

In our Run-off business, loss reserves include A&E liabilities of $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2022. We also hold 
defendant liabilities associated with personal injury A&E claims from acquired companies with legacy manufacturing 
businesses. As of December 31, 2022, defendant A&E liabilities reported on our balance sheet were $607 million. 
Ultimate values for A&E claims cannot be estimated using traditional reserving techniques, and there are significant 
uncertainties  in  estimating  losses  for  these  claims.  Factors  contributing  to  the  uncertainty  include  long  waiting 
periods,  reporting  delays  and  difficulties  identifying  contamination  sources  and  allocating  damage  liability. 
Developed case law and adequate claim history do not always exist for A&E claims, and changes in the legal and 
tort environment affect the development of such claims.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

In  addition,  evolving  industry  practices  and  legal,  judicial,  social,  and  environmental  conditions  may  result  in 
unexpected claims and coverage issues that could adversely affect the adequacy of our loss reserves by extending 
coverage  beyond  the  envisioned  scope  of  insurance  policies  and  reinsurance  contracts,  or  by  increasing  the 
number  or  size  of  claims.  Our  exposure  to  these  uncertainties  could  be  exacerbated  by  an  increase  in  insurance 
and  reinsurance  contract  disputes,  arbitration  and  litigation,  as  well  as  social  and  economic  inflation  trends, 
including expanded theories of liability and higher jury awards. For example, in areas such as mass tort litigation, 
we  continue  to  see  damages  awarded  that  far  exceed  the  economic  damages  of  the  claimant.  Increasingly,  the 
handling of insurance claims can also lead to bad faith or other forms of extra-contractual damages. These trends 
may not become apparent until long after we have acquired or assumed the affected insurance policies.

We may not be able to sustain our growth through acquisitions. 

We pursue growth through financially beneficial acquisitions of companies and portfolios of (re)insurance business. 
Because the execution of our claims management strategies and associated payments result in the reduction of our 
loss reserves and LAE over time, we must continually acquire an adequate amount of run-off business that aligns 
with our strategic objectives to grow liabilities and assets under management. However, the acquisition of suitable 
run-off business is highly competitive and driven by many factors, including proposed acquisition price, reputation, 
collateral arrangements, and financial resources. Competitors continue to enter the insurance run-off space, and as 
a result, we may be unable to consummate acquisition transactions at acceptable prices and on acceptable terms, 
or at all, which could hinder our future growth.

The evaluation and negotiation of potential run-off acquisitions, as well as the integration of acquired businesses or 
portfolios  in  run-off,  can  be  complex  and  costly  and  requires  substantial  management  resources.  Once  we  have 
signed a definitive agreement to acquire a business or portfolio, conditions to closing, such as obtaining regulatory 
or shareholder approvals, must be met prior to completing the acquisition. These and other closing conditions may 
not  be  satisfied,  or  may  cause  a  material  delay  in  the  anticipated  timing  of  closing.  Such  a  failure  or  delay  could 
result in significant expense, diversion of time and resources, reputational damage, litigation and a failure to realize 
the  anticipated  benefits  of  an  acquisition,  all  of  which  could  materially  adversely  impact  our  business,  financial 
condition and results of operations.

Our acquisitions could involve additional risks that we may not be able to identify during the due diligence process, 
such as losses from unanticipated litigation, levels of covered claims or other liabilities and exposures, an inability to 
generate sufficient investment income and other revenue to offset acquisition costs and other financial exposures. 
Further, our counterparties may breach their representations and warranties and/or be unable or unwilling to meet 
their contractual obligations to us.

We  may  not  be  able  to  realize  the  anticipated  benefits  of  acquisitions,  which  may  result 
in 
underperformance relative to our expectations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition or results of operations. 

To  achieve  positive  operating  results  from  an  acquisition,  we  must  first  price  the  transaction  on  favorable  terms 
relative to the risks posed, and then we must successfully manage the acquired reserves and investments. Unlike 
traditional  insurers  and  reinsurers,  our  companies  and  loss  portfolios  no  longer  underwrite  new  policies  or  collect 
underwriting premiums, and their stated provisions for losses and LAE may not be sufficient to cover future losses 
and  the  cost  of  run-off.  Failure  to  successfully  manage  such  reserves,  including  by  effectively  managing  claims, 
collecting from insurers or reinsurers, controlling expenses and generating positive investment returns in line with 
our pricing assumptions, could result in us having to cover losses sustained with capital, which would materially and 
adversely impact our ability to grow our business and may result in material losses.

Further,  the  acquisitions  we  have  made  and  expect  to  make  in  the  future  may  pose  operational  challenges  that 
expose us to risks relating to:  

•

•

•

the value of liabilities assumed being greater than expected;

the  value  of  assets  or  our  anticipated  return  on  assets  being  lower  than  expected  or  diminishing  for  reasons 
including  credit  defaults,  changes  in  interest  rates,  declines  in  market  value,  inflation  or  delays  in 
implementation of our intended investment strategies;

funding cash flow shortages that may occur if anticipated revenues are not realized or are delayed, if expenses 
are greater than anticipated, or if assets are not liquid;

integrating  financial  and  operational  reporting  systems  and  internal  controls  of  acquired  businesses,  including 
compliance  with  Section  404  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002  and  our  reporting  requirements  under  the 
Exchange Act; 

leveraging our existing capabilities and expertise into the business acquired and establishing synergies within 
our organization; 

funding increased capital needs and overhead expenses; 

integrating technology platforms and managing any increased cybersecurity risk; 

the timely transfer and integrity of data needed to manage acquired business;  

obtaining and retaining management personnel required for expanded operations; 

fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates relating to the assets and liabilities we may acquire; 

goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges; and 

complying with applicable laws and regulations. 

If  we  are  unable  to  address  some  or  all  of  these  challenges,  our  acquisitions  may  underperform  relative  to  our 
expectations and our business may be materially and adversely affected. 

Climate  change  may  have  an  adverse  impact  on  the  returns  from  our  run-off  business  as  well  as  our 
investments, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our core focus is on acquiring and managing reinsurance companies and portfolios of reinsurance business in run-
off,  and  as  such  climate  change  presents  unique  risks  to  our  business  stemming  from  insurance  liabilities  we 
acquire and the assets that back those liabilities. As we acquire liabilities, there is a risk that our current practices 
and processes do not successfully identify and/or price the risks arising from climate change, which could result in 
actual returns deviating adversely from those assumed when the transaction was priced. In addition, the disruption 
caused  by  changes  in  technology,  governments  and  regulation  as  part  of  a  societal  transition  to  a  lower  carbon 
emitting  economy  could  expose  our  investment  portfolio  to  a  loss  of  value  in  the  near  term  and  long  term.  For 
example, a swift, adverse repricing of carbon-intensive financial assets could expose our investments to losses in 
the near term and in the long term if the transition to a lower carbon-emitting economy is associated with increased 
production costs. Additionally, achieving any sustainability goals and commitments that we may set for ourselves in 
the  future,  or  be  required  to  meet,  such  as  net  zero  greenhouse  gas  emissions,  will  require  efforts  that  could 
significantly increase our costs of operations. 
Risks Relating to Taxation 

U.S. tax reform legislation, various international tax transparency and economic substance initiatives, and 
possible future tax reform legislation and regulations could materially affect us and our shareholders.

The  Organization  for  Economic  Co-operation  and  Development  ("OECD")  Pillar  II  initiative  proposes  a  global 
minimum tax rate of 15% amongst its 142 member nations and other adopting countries.  On December 20, 2021, 
the  OECD  released  the  final  model  rules  on  Pillar  II  (the  “Model  Rules”),  which  nations  can  adopt  into  local 
legislation to implement Pillar II on a global basis. 

Three  components  of  the  Model  Rules,  the  Income  Inclusion  Rule  (“IIR”),    the  Under-Taxed  Profit  Rule  (“UTPR”), 
and the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top up Tax (“QDMTT”) could potentially be applicable to our operations:

•

•

•

The IIR establishes a global minimum tax in the jurisdiction of the parent company of a multinational enterprise 
(“MNE”).  There is no current indication that Bermuda intends full implementation of the Model Rules.

The UTPR, allows a portion of an MNE’s global profits with an effective tax rate below the 15% minimum rate to 
be taxed by other jurisdictions through an allocation model based on headcount and fixed tangible assets.  The 
Model  Rules  give  flexibility  to  allow  jurisdictions  several  mechanisms  to  collect  global  profits.    This  includes 
directly taxing allocated income, reduction in any allowance for equity or by imputing deemed income.

The Model Rules also propose that jurisdictions consider implementing a 15% QDMTT, which could qualify in 
substitution to the IIR, and could preclude other jurisdictions from utilizing the UTPR for taxing local profits. 

The OECD is targeting the implementation of the IIR by 2024, and UTPR by 2025.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

On  July  20,  2022,  the  UK  government  released  draft  legislation  to  implement  the  IIR  for  accounting  periods 
beginning on or after December 31, 2023. 

On  November  17,  2022,  the  UK  announced  its  intention  to  legislate  a  QDMTT  and  it  is  expected  that  other 
jurisdictions may follow suit in the coming year.

On  December  15,  2022,  the  European  Union  (“EU”)  member  states  unanimously  adopted  the  Minimum  Tax 
Directive, which provides guidance for enacting national legislation for the IIR and UTPR. The IIR will be applicable 
in EU member states for fiscal years starting on or after December 31, 2023, and the UTPR for fiscal years starting 
on or after December 31, 2024. 

How Pillar II impacts our operations will heavily depend on how these rules are ultimately transposed into the local 
legislation  of  countries  we  operate  in.  Specifically,  the  planned  adoption  of  the  UTPR  in  the  U.K.  could  have  a 
material impact on our net earnings, which is dependent on how the UTPR is ultimately legislated in the U.K.  We 
continue to monitor  legislative changes as it relates to Pillar II and believe that the earliest material impact to the 
Company will be in 2025.

We might incur unexpected U.S., U.K., Australia, or other tax liabilities if companies in our group that are 
incorporated  outside  those  jurisdictions  are  determined  to  be  carrying  on  a  trade  or  business  in  such 
jurisdictions.

We  are  currently  not  subject  to  tax  in  Bermuda.  Under  the  Exempted  Undertakings  Tax  Protection Act  1996,  we 
have assurance that any legislation imposing an income, capital, or similar tax before March 31, 2035, will not apply 
to us. Given limitations imposed under this assurance, we cannot be certain that we will not be subject to tax after 
March  31,  2035.  If  our  Bermuda  profits  are  subject  to  tax  in  Bermuda  or  any  other  jurisdiction,  this  could  have  a 
material  adverse  impact  on  our  business  operations.  Furthermore,  a  number  of  our  subsidiaries  are  companies 
formed  under  the  laws  of  Bermuda  or  other  jurisdictions  that  do  not  impose  income  taxes,  and  it  is  our 
contemplation that these companies will not incur substantial income tax liabilities from their operations. Because 
the operations of these companies generally involve, or relate to, the insurance or reinsurance of risks that arise in 
higher tax jurisdictions, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, it is possible that the taxing 
authorities in those jurisdictions may assert that the activities of one or more of these companies creates a sufficient 
nexus in that jurisdiction to subject the company to income tax in such jurisdiction. There are uncertainties in how 
the relevant rules apply to insurance businesses, and in our eligibility for favorable treatment under applicable tax 
treaties. Accordingly, it is possible that our tax liabilities could be adversely impacted, which could reduce our net 
earnings.

U.S. persons who own our ordinary shares might become subject to adverse U.S. tax consequences as a 
result of "related person insurance income," if any, of our non-U.S. insurance company subsidiaries.

For any of our wholly-owned non-U.S. insurance company subsidiaries, if (1) U.S. persons are treated as owning 
25%  or  more  of  our  shares,  (2)  the  related  person  insurance  income  ("RPII")  of  that  subsidiary  were  to  equal  or 
exceed 20% of its gross insurance income in any taxable year, and (3) direct or indirect insureds of that subsidiary 
(and persons related to such insureds) own (or are treated as owning) 20% or more of the voting power or value of 
our shares, then a U.S. person who owns our shares directly, or indirectly through non-U.S. entities, on the last day 
of the taxable year would be required to include in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes that person's pro 
rata share of the RPII of such a non-U.S. insurance company for the entire taxable year, whether or not any such 
amounts are actually distributed. While proposed regulations put forth by the United States Department of Treasury 
and  Internal  Revenue  Service  on  January  24,  2022  may  change  some  of  the  ownership  thresholds  needed  to 
qualify into RPII, we believe that some of the income thresholds above are not likely to be met. However, we cannot 
assure  you  that  this  will  be  the  case. Accordingly,  it  is  possible  that  a  direct  or  indirect  United  States  shareholder 
could be required to include amounts in its income in respect to RPII in any taxable year if the proposed regulations 
are  finalized  in  their  current  form.  We  believe  that  these  proposed  changes  would  not  affect  the  gross  income 
threshold  described  above. These  proposed  regulations  were  subject  to  a  90-day  comment  period  that  ended  on 
April 25, 2022. Comments submitted to these proposed regulations requested changes to the proposed regulations 
to ask that structures such as Enstar's not be subject to these rules. If these proposed regulations are finalized as 
proposed, they would be effective for tax years ending on or after January 25, 2022. Whether they will be finalized 
as proposed remains unclear.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

Risks Relating to Liquidity and Capital Resources 

The amount of statutory capital that we must hold in order to maintain our credit ratings and meet certain 
regulatory requirements can vary significantly and is sensitive to several factors.

Statutory capital requirements for our insurance subsidiaries are prescribed by the applicable insurance regulators 
in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  we  operate.  Insurance  regulators  have  established  risk-based  capital  adequacy 
measures, such as the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") in Bermuda and the Solvency II regime in 
the European Union and United Kingdom, which provide minimum solvency and liquidity requirements for insurance 
companies. The amount of capital that we and/or our insurance subsidiaries are required to hold may increase or 
decrease  depending  on  a  variety  of  factors  including  the  amount  of  statutory  income  or  losses  generated  by  our 
insurance  subsidiaries  (which  is  sensitive  to  equity  market  and  credit  market  conditions),  the  amount  of  statutory 
capital needed to support future growth through acquisitions, changes in the value of investments, the deterioration 
of market conditions due to global events, changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, as well as 
changes  to  the  relevant  regulatory  capital  adequacy  measures  and  frameworks.  Our  overall  liquidity  and  credit 
ratings  are  significantly  influenced  by  the  level  of  statutory  capital  and  surplus  in  our  insurance  subsidiaries.  If 
statutory capital requirements increase or if our insurance subsidiaries' solvency decreases, our subsidiaries would 
be required to hold more capital, and our ability to obtain distributions from these subsidiaries could be limited. If we 
fail to maintain adequate statutory capital, regulators may restrict our activities and prohibit us and our subsidiaries 
from completing acquisitions without raising additional capital. Additionally, if our BSCR falls below certain levels, it 
could  trigger  counterparty  recapture  rights  and/or  additional  collateral  requirements  in  certain  of  our  reinsurance 
agreements.

We may require additional capital liquidity in the future that may not be available or may only be available 
on unfavorable terms. 

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including acquisition and investment activity, our ability to 
manage the run-off of our assumed liabilities, our ability to establish reserves at levels sufficient to cover losses, and 
our  obligations  to  satisfy  applicable  statutory  capital  requirements.  We  may  need  to  raise  additional  capital  and 
liquidity  through  equity  or  debt  financings.  Our  ability  to  secure  this  financing  may  be  affected  by  a  number  of 
factors, including volatility in the global financial markets, new or incremental tightening in the credit markets, low 
liquidity  and  the  strength  of  our  capital  position  and  operating  results.  In  addition,  an  unfavorable  change  or 
downgrade of our issuer credit ratings will increase the interest rate or other fees charged under our debt facilities 
and  will  make  it  more  expensive  for  us  to  access  capital  markets. Any  equity  or  debt  financing,  if  available  at  all, 
may  be  on  terms  that  are  not  favorable  to  us,  and  could  limit  our  strategic,  financial  and  operational  flexibility, 
including as a result of the need to dedicate a greater portion of our cash flows from operations to preferred share 
dividends and interest and principal payments on our debt financing and to comply with more burdensome covenant 
restrictions from our various debt and letter of credit facilities.

In addition, we may not achieve the desired regulatory capital treatment for any potential issuance of debt or equity 
securities due to solvency capital eligibility requirements under the Bermuda Insurance (Group Supervision) Rules 
2011 (the "Group Supervision Rules") to which we are subject. For example, our outstanding preferred shares and 
junior  subordinated  notes  qualify  as  Tier  2  capital  and  our  outstanding  senior  notes  qualify  as  Tier  3  capital,  in 
accordance with the Group Supervision Rules. For these instruments to continue to receive the intended regulatory 
capital  treatment,  their  terms  must  reflect  the  criteria  contained  in  the  Group  Supervision  Rules  and  any 
amendments  thereto.  If  the  BMA  applies  any  changes  to  the  Group  Supervision  Rules  governing  eligible  capital 
such that our outstanding preferred shares and notes no longer receive their intended capital treatment under the 
Group Supervision Rules, we may be unable to maintain adequate regulatory capital. If we cannot obtain adequate 
capital or regulatory credit, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected 
by, among other things, our inability to finance future acquisitions.

Our reinsurance subsidiaries are often required to provide collateral to ceding companies pursuant to their 
reinsurance  contracts.  Their  ability  to  conduct  business  could  be  significantly  and  negatively  affected  if 
they are unable to do so or if any letters of credit posted as collateral cannot be renewed or are drawn upon 
by a ceding company.

Our reinsurance subsidiaries are often required to post collateral in the form of letters of credit, trust funds or other 
assets to provide security for their reinsurance obligations and to provide ceding companies with statutory credit for 
such reinsurance. If our reinsurance subsidiaries are unable to post the required collateral or the cost of providing

Table of Contents

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

such  collateral  materially  increases,  their  operations  could  be  significantly  and  negatively  affected,  which  in  turn 
could limit our ability to complete new reinsurance transactions on favorable terms or at all, which could negatively 
impact our business, financial condition and results  of  operations. Depending on multiple factors, our reinsurance 
subsidiaries may not be able to secure letters of credit to satisfy requirements to post collateral in support of their 
reinsurance obligations. If our reinsurance subsidiaries cannot post collateral in the form of letters of credit, then our 
reinsurance subsidiaries will have to post substitute collateral in the form of trust funds or other assets, limiting our 
ability  to  invest  (and  consequently  reducing  investment  income  from)  such  assets  and  constraining  our  liquidity, 
which  could  negatively  impact  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  In  addition,  if  the 
beneficiary  of  any  letter  of  credit  draws  funds  against  the  letter  of  credit,  we  would  be  obligated  to  immediately 
reimburse  the  bank  that  issued  the  letter  of  credit  the  amount  of  such  drawn  funds,  which  could  increase  our 
indebtedness and negatively affect our liquidity and financial condition.

Reinsurers  may  not  satisfy  their  obligations  to  our  reinsurance  subsidiaries,  which  could  result  in 
significant losses or liquidity issues for us. 

Our reinsurance subsidiaries are subject to credit risk with respect to their reinsurers because the transfer of risk to 
a reinsurer does not relieve our subsidiaries of their liability to the underlying insured. Reinsurance companies may 
be negatively impacted or downgraded during difficult financial and economic conditions. In addition, reinsurers may 
be unwilling to pay our subsidiaries even though they are able to do so, or disputes may arise regarding payment 
obligations. The failure of one or more of our subsidiaries’ reinsurers to honor their obligations in a timely fashion 
may affect our cash flows and liquidity, reduce our net earnings or cause us to incur a significant loss. Disputes with 
our reinsurers may also result in unforeseen expenses relating to litigation or arbitration proceedings. A reinsurer’s 
inability or unwillingness to honor its obligations may negate the intended risk-reducing impact of our reinsurance. 

Exposure  to  reinsurers  who  represent  meaningful  percentages  of  our  total  reinsurance  balances  recoverable  on 
paid  and  unpaid  losses  may  increase  the  risks  described  above.  For  information  on  reinsurance  balances 
recoverable on paid and unpaid losses, see "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and  Results  of  Operations  -  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  -  Reinsurance  Balances  Recoverable  on  Paid  and 
Unpaid Losses." 

We are dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us. 

We are a holding company and therefore we are dependent on distributions of funds from our operating subsidiaries 
to fund acquisitions, fulfill normal course financial obligations, including payments on our outstanding notes, and pay 
dividends to our shareholders, including holders of our preferred shares and, in turn, the related depositary shares. 
The  ability  of  our  reinsurance  subsidiaries  to  make  distributions  to  us  may  be  limited  by  various  business 
considerations  and  applicable  insurance  laws  and  regulations  in  jurisdictions  in  which  we  operate  (which  are 
described in "Item 1. Business - Regulation"). The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may also be 
restricted by, among other things, other applicable laws and regulations and the terms of our debt obligations and 
our  subsidiaries’  debt  obligations.  If  our  subsidiaries  are  restricted  from  making  distributions  to  us,  we  may  be 
unable to maintain adequate liquidity to fund acquisitions or fulfill our financial obligations.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may cause us to experience losses.

We  maintain  a  portion  of  our  investments,  insurance  liabilities  and  insurance  assets  denominated  in  currencies 
other  than  U.S.  dollars.  Consequently,  we  and  our  subsidiaries  may  experience  foreign  exchange  losses,  which 
could adversely affect our results of operations. Our reporting currency in our consolidated financial statements is 
U.S.  dollars,  therefore,  fluctuations  in  exchange  rates  used  to  convert  other  currencies  used  by  our  subsidiaries, 
particularly Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds and Euros, into U.S. dollars will impact our reported 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows from year to year.

Risks Relating to our Investments 

The value of our investment portfolios and the investment income that we receive from these portfolios may 
decline materially as a result of market fluctuations and economic conditions.

We  derive  a  significant  portion  of  our  income  from  our  invested  assets,  which  consist  primarily  of  investments  in 
fixed income securities. The value of our investments in fixed income securities will generally increase or decrease 
with  changes  in  interest  rates  and  credit  spreads.  Interest  rates  are  highly  sensitive  to  many  factors,  including 
governmental  monetary  policies,  domestic  and  international  economic  and  political  conditions  and  other  factors 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K

Table of Contents

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

beyond our control. A rise in interest rates would, all else being equal (i.e., no movement in credit spreads), increase 
net unrealized losses, which would decline over time as each security approaches maturity. Conversely, a decline in 
interest  rates,  all  else  being  equal,  would  increase  net  unrealized  gains,  which  would  decline  over  time  as  each 
security approaches maturity. Additionally, new investments of cash or the reinvestment of proceeds from sales of 
securities would be invested at the prevailing interest rates for each security, thereby increasing or decreasing net 
investment  income  on  those  proceeds.  The  fair  market  value  of  fixed  income  securities  can  also  decrease  as  a 
result of a deterioration of the credit quality of those securities. Any perceived decrease in credit quality may cause 
credit spreads to widen, all else being equal, and this would result in an increase in net unrealized losses, which 
would decline over time as each security approaches maturity, assuming it does not default. A deterioration of credit 
quality  on  our  fixed  income  securities  may  result  in  a  preference  to  liquidate  these  securities  in  the  financial 
markets.  If  we  liquidate  these  securities  during  a  period  of  deteriorating  credit  conditions,  we  may  realize  a 
significant  loss. Although  we  attempt  to  take  measures  to  manage  the  risks  of  investing  in  changing  interest  rate 
environments, we may not be able to mitigate interest rate sensitivity effectively. For example, as a result of central 
bank efforts to combat high inflation, interest rates increased dramatically, which contributed to the $1.6 billion of net 
unrealized losses on our fixed income securities (recorded through the income statement and other comprehensive 
income) for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, declining market conditions or a perceived decrease in 
credit quality may cause issuers of the fixed income securities in which we invest to default on their obligations. In 
addition, we hold public company equity securities. Net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains or 
losses from our fixed income securities and equity securities could vary materially from expectations depending on 
general market conditions. For example, we may incur impairment charges resulting from revaluations of debt and 
equity  securities  and  other  investments.  Increased  volatility  in  the  financial  markets  and  overall  economic 
uncertainty would increase the risk that the actual amounts realized in the future on our financial instruments could 
differ significantly from the fair values currently assigned to them. 

Some of our fixed income securities, such as mortgage-based and other asset-backed securities, carry prepayment 
risk,  or  the  risk  that  principal  will  be  returned  more  rapidly  or  slowly  than  expected,  as  a  result  of  interest  rate 
fluctuations. When interest rates decline, consumers tend to make prepayments on their mortgages (often through 
refinancing),  causing  us  to  be  repaid  more  quickly  than  we  might  have  originally  anticipated,  meaning  that  our 
opportunities to reinvest these proceeds back into the investment markets may be at reduced interest rates (with the 
converse being true in a rising interest rate environment). Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are 
also  subject  to  default  risk  on  the  underlying  securitized  mortgages,  which  would  decrease  the  value  of  our 
investments.

The changes in the market value of our securities that are classified as trading or AFS are reflected in our financial 
statements. Credit losses on our fixed income securities, AFS are recognized through an allowance account, which 
is  also  reflected  in  our  financial  statements. As  a  result,  a  decline  in  the  value  of  the  securities  in  our  investment 
portfolios may materially reduce our net income and shareholders’ equity, and may cause us to incur a significant 
loss.  For  more  information  on  our  investment  portfolios,  see  "Item  7.  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Investable Assets."

Our  investments  in  alternative  investments,  strategic  investments  in  joint  ventures  and/or  entities 
accounted for using the equity method may be illiquid and volatile in terms of value and returns.

In addition to fixed income securities, we have invested, and may continue to invest, in alternative investments such 
as  hedge  funds,  fixed  income  funds,  public  equity  funds,  private  equity  funds  and  co-investments,  CLO  equities, 
CLO equity funds, real estate funds and other alternative investments. In addition, we have invested, and we may 
continue to make significant investments, in joint ventures and/or entities accounted for using the equity method that 
we  do  not  control,  which  may  limit  our  ability  to  take  actions  that  could  protect  or  increase  the  value  of  our 
investment.  These  and  other  similar  investments  may  be  illiquid  due  to  restrictions  on  sales,  transfers  and 
redemption  terms,  may  have  different,  more  significant  risk  characteristics  than  our  investments  in  fixed  income 
securities and may also have significantly more volatile values and returns, all of which could negatively affect the 
market  value  of  our  investments,  our  investment  income,  and  our  overall  portfolio  liquidity. Alternative  or  "other" 
investments  may  not  meet  regulatory  admissibility  requirements  or  may  result  in  increased  regulatory  capital 
charges to our insurance subsidiaries that hold these investments, which could limit those subsidiaries’ ability to pay 
dividends  and  make  capital  distributions  to  us  and,  consequently,  negatively  impact  our  liquidity.  For  more 
information  on  our  alternative  investments,  see  "Item  7.  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations - Investable Assets."

subject to differing interpretations and could result in changes to investment valuations that may materially 
adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

Fixed  maturity  and  alternative  investments,  such  as  hedge  funds,  fixed  income  funds,  public  equity  funds,  private 
equity  funds  and  co-investments,  CLO  equities,  CLO  equity  funds,  real  estate  funds,  private  credit  funds,  and 
infrastructure  funds  and  co-investments  represent  the  majority  of  our  total  cash  and  invested  assets.  These 
investments are reported at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. Fair value prices for all trading and AFS 
securities  in  the  fixed  maturities  portfolio  are  independently  provided  by  our  investment  accounting  service 
providers, 
investment  custodians,  each  of  which  utilize 
internationally recognized independent pricing services. We record the unadjusted price provided by our investment 
accounting service providers, managers or custodians. Fair value for our alternative investments is estimated based 
primarily  on  the  most  recently  reported  net  asset  values  reported  by  the  fund  manager.  Additionally,  for  some 
strategic investments for which we have elected the fair value option, our valuations of these investments are based 
on  internal  valuation  models  and  methodologies  that  are  subject  to  estimates  and  judgements  that  can  vary  from 
quarter to quarter.  

fund  administrators,  and 

investment  managers, 

These  valuation  procedures  involve  estimates  and  judgments,  and  during  periods  of  market  disruptions  (such  as 
periods of significantly volatile interest rate changes, rapidly widening credit spreads or illiquidity), it may be difficult 
to  value  certain  of  our  securities  if  trading  becomes  less  frequent  or  market  data  becomes  less  observable.  In 
addition,  there  may  be  certain  asset  classes  that  are  now  in  active  markets  with  significant  observable  data  that 
become illiquid due to changes in the financial environment. In these cases, the valuation of a greater number of 
securities  in  our  investment  portfolio  may  require  more  subjectivity  and  management  judgment.  As  a  result, 
valuations  may  include  inputs  and  assumptions  that  are  less  observable  or  require  greater  estimation  as  well  as 
valuation methods that are more sophisticated or require greater estimation, which may result in valuations greater 
than the value at which the investments could ultimately be sold. Further, rapidly changing and unpredictable credit 
and equity market conditions could materially affect the valuation of securities carried at fair value as reported within 
our consolidated financial statements and the period-to-period changes in value could vary significantly. Decreases 
in value could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The nature of our liquidity demands and the structure of our investment portfolios may adversely affect the 
performance of our investment portfolio and financial results, as well as our investing flexibility.

We  strive  to  structure  the  duration  of  our  investments  in  a  manner  that  recognizes  our  liquidity  needs  to  satisfy 
future liabilities. Because of the unpredictable nature of losses and associated collateral provisions that may arise 
under the reinsurance policies issued by certain of our subsidiaries and as a result of our opportunistic commutation 
strategy, our liquidity needs can be substantial and may arise at any time. In that regard, we attempt to correlate the 
maturity and duration of our investment portfolio to our general liability profile. If we are unsuccessful in managing 
our investment portfolio within the context of this strategy, we may be forced to liquidate our investments at times 
and at prices that are not optimal, and we may have difficulty liquidating some of our alternative investments due to 
restrictions on sales, transfers and redemption terms. This could have a material adverse effect on the performance 
of our investment portfolio. Alternatively, we may experience a different investment income yield if the asset duration 
is shorter than our liability duration profile which could negatively impact our earnings.

We  have  many  individual  portfolios  of  cash  and  investments  from  our  acquired  companies  and  portfolios.  Each 
investment  portfolio  has  its  own  regulatory  admissibility  requirements,  and  each  run-off  entity  is  likely  to  have 
negative  operating  and  financing  cash  flows  due  to  commutation  activity,  claims  settlements  and  capital 
distributions. These factors reduce our overall investing flexibility. 

Risks Relating to Laws and Regulations 

Insurance laws and regulations can restrict our ability to operate, and any failure to comply with these laws 
and  regulations,  or  any  investigations,  inquiries  or  demands  by  government  authorities,  may  have  a 
material adverse effect on our business. 

We  are  subject  to  the  insurance  laws  and  regulations  in  a  number  of  jurisdictions  worldwide.  Existing  laws  and 
regulations, among other things, limit the amount of dividends and capital that can be paid to us by our reinsurance 
subsidiaries,  prescribe  solvency  and  capital  adequacy  standards,  impose  restrictions  on  the  amount  and  type  of 
investments  that  can  be  held  to  meet  solvency  and  capital  adequacy  requirements,  require  the  maintenance  of 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

reserve  liabilities,  and  require  pre-approval  of  acquisitions,  reinsurance  transactions  and  certain  affiliate 
transactions. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations or to maintain appropriate authorizations, licenses, 
and/or  exemptions  under  applicable  laws  and  regulations  may  cause  governmental  authorities  to  preclude  or 
suspend our insurance or reinsurance subsidiaries from carrying on some or all of their activities, place one or more 
of them into rehabilitation or liquidation proceedings, impose monetary penalties or other sanctions on them or our 
affiliates,  or  commence  insurance  company  delinquency  proceedings  against  our  insurance  or  reinsurance 
subsidiaries.  The  application  of  these  laws  and  regulations  by  various  governmental  authorities  may  affect  our 
liquidity and restrict our ability to expand our business operations through acquisitions or to pay dividends on our 
ordinary  or  preferred  shares.  Furthermore,  compliance  with  legal  and  regulatory  requirements  is  likely  to  result  in 
significant expenses, which could have a negative impact on our profitability. To further understand these regulatory 
requirements, see "Item 1. Business - Regulation." 

We  believe  it  is  likely  there  will  continue  to  be  regulatory  intervention  in  our  industry  in  the  future,  and  these 
initiatives could adversely affect our business. Additional laws and regulations have been and may continue to be 
enacted  that  may  have  adverse  effects  on  our  operations,  financial  condition,  statutory  capital  adequacy,  and 
liquidity.  For  example,  in  many  of  the  jurisdictions  in  which  we  operate,  including  Bermuda,  there  are  increased 
regulations  relating  to  group  supervision  though  cooperation  and  coordination  among  insurance  regulators 
regardless of an individual company’s domiciliary jurisdiction. The BMA acts as our Group supervisor, as described 
in "Item 1. Business – Regulation." We cannot predict the exact nature, timing or scope of these initiatives; however, 
we  believe  it  is  likely  there  will  continue  to  be  increased  regulatory  intervention  in  our  industry  in  the  future,  and 
these initiatives could adversely affect our business.

Solvency II, the E.U. directive covering the capital adequacy, risk management and regulatory reporting for insurers, 
requires  significant  resources  to  ensure  compliance  by  our  European  Economic  Area  (“EEA”)  companies.  
Additionally, if our non-EEA subsidiaries engage in insurance or reinsurance business in the EEA, additional capital 
requirements may be imposed for such companies to continue to insure or reinsure EEA-domiciled risk or cedants if 
their  regulatory  regime  is  not  deemed  to  have  Solvency  II  equivalence.  Bermuda  has  gained  Solvency  II 
equivalence,  and  our  Bermuda  reinsurers  are  subject  to  requirements  in  line  with  a  Solvency  II  framework. 
Continued compliance with Solvency II and similar laws and regulations will result in additional costs for us.

Our  U.K.-based  insurance  and  reinsurance  subsidiaries  consist  of  wholly-owned  run-off  companies  that  are 
authorized  and  regulated  by  the  U.K.  Regulator.  Our  U.K.  run-off  subsidiaries  may  not  underwrite  new  business 
without  the  approval  of  the  U.K.  Regulator.  In  addition,  our  Lloyd’s  operations  are  subject  to  authorization  and 
regulation by the U.K. Regulator and compliance with the Lloyd’s Act(s) and Bylaws and regulations, as well as the 
applicable provisions of the FSMA. The Council of Lloyd’s has wide discretionary powers to regulate its members, 
and  its  exercise  of  these  powers  might  affect  the  return  on  an  investment  of  the  corporate  member  in  a  given 
underwriting year. Business plans, including maximum underwriting capacity, for Lloyd’s syndicates require annual 
approval  by  the  Lloyd’s  Franchise  Board.  Continued  compliance  with  the  rules  of  the  PRA,  Lloyd’s  and  similar 
regulators will result in additional costs for us. 

Our  business  is  subject  to  laws  and  regulations  relating  to  sanctions  and  foreign  corrupt  practices,  the 
violation of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 

We  are  legally  required  to  comply  with  all  applicable  economic  sanctions,  anti-bribery,  anti-corruption  and  anti-
money  laundering  laws  and  regulations  of  the  jurisdictions  in  which  we  operate.  U.S.  laws  and  regulations 
applicable to our U.S. subsidiaries include the economic trade sanctions laws and regulations administered by the 
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, as well as certain laws administered by the U.S. Department of State. 
New sanction regimes may be initiated, or existing sanctions expanded, at any time, which can impact our business 
activities.  In  addition,  our  companies  are  subject  to  the  U.S.  Foreign  Corrupt  Practices Act  and  other  anti-bribery 
laws such as the Bermuda Bribery Act and the U.K. Bribery Act that generally bar corrupt payments or unreasonable 
gifts to foreign governments or officials. Although we have policies and controls in place that are designed to ensure 
compliance with these laws and regulations, it is possible that an employee or intermediary could fail to comply with 
applicable laws and regulations. In such event, we could be exposed to civil penalties, criminal penalties and other 
sanctions, including fines or other punitive actions. Such civil or criminal penalties, sanctions, fines or other punitive 
actions,  and  the  possibility  of  resulting  damage  to  our  business  and/or  reputation,  could  have  a  material  adverse 
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

Risks Relating to our Operations 

We are dependent on our executive officers, directors and other key personnel and the loss of any of these 
individuals could adversely affect our business. 

Our success depends on the ability of our senior management and other key employees to implement our strategy 
and operate our business. For example, our ability to source run-off acquisitions is critical to our business, and is in 
part dependent on the relationships of our senior management and other key personnel. The loss of their services 
or the services of other key personnel, or the loss of the services of or our relationships with any of our directors, 
could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Some of our directors, large shareholders and their affiliates have interests and/or other involvement with 
entities that can create conflicts of interest through related party transactions. 

We have participated in transactions, investments and investment management arrangements in which one or more 
of our directors, large shareholders or their affiliates has an interest, and we may continue to do so in the future. 
Refer to Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements for further disclosure on these arrangements. In addition, 
some  of  our  directors,  large  shareholders  or  their  affiliates  from  time  to  time  have  ownership  interests  or  other 
involvement  with  entities  that  compete  against  us  or  otherwise  have  interests  that  could,  at  times,  be  considered 
potentially adverse to us, either in the pursuit of acquisition targets, investments or in our business operations. The 
interests of our directors, large shareholders or their affiliates in related party transactions or competitive businesses 
may create the potential for, or result in, conflicts of interests. 

Cybersecurity  events  or  other  difficulties  with  our  information  technology  systems  could  disrupt  our 
business, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, increased costs, and adversely impact 
our reputation and results of operations. 

We rely heavily on the successful, uninterrupted functioning of our information technology systems, as well as those 
of  any  outsourced  service  providers,  including  third-party  administrators  and  investment  managers.  We  rely  on 
these systems to securely and accurately process, store, and transmit confidential and other data in connection with 
our  critical  operational  functions  such  as  paying  claims,  performing  actuarial  and  other  modeling,  pricing,  quoting 
and  processing  policies,  cash  and  investment  management,  acquisition  analysis,  financial  reporting  and  other 
necessary  support  functions.  Our  information  may  also  be  exposed  to  the  risk  of  a  data  breach  or  cyber-security 
incident through a breach or failure of our systems or a breach or failure of the systems of third parties where we 
rely on such parties for outsourced functions or services. A failure of our information technology systems or those of 
our third-party service providers could materially impact our ability to perform the critical functions described above, 
affect  the  confidentiality,  availability  or  integrity  of  our  proprietary  information  and  expose  us  to  litigation  and 
increase our administrative expenses.

Computer  viruses,  cyber-attacks,  phishing  scams  and  other  external  hazards,  as  well  as  any  internal  process  or 
employee  failures,  could  expose  our  information  technology  systems  to  security  breaches  that  may  cause  critical 
data  to  be  corrupted  or  confidential  or  proprietary  information  to  be  exposed,  cause  system  disruptions  or  shut-
downs, or expose us to financial fraud. In addition to our own information, we receive and may be responsible for 
protecting  confidential  or  personal  information  of  ceding  companies,  policyholders,  employees,  and  other  third 
parties,  which  could  also  be  compromised  in  the  event  of  a  security  breach.  In  addition,  many  of  our  employees 
work  remotely,  and  we  are  therefore  more  dependent  on  our  information  technology  systems  and  the  continued 
access by our employees and service providers to reliable and secure internet and telecommunications systems. If 
these  systems  do  not  function  effectively  or  are  disrupted  due  to  heightened  demand,  cybersecurity  attacks  and 
data  security  incidents,  or  for  any  other  related  reason,  it  would  negatively  impact  our  ability  to  settle  claims 
efficiently, complete acquisitions, integrate our acquired businesses, manage our investments, or otherwise conduct 
our business. 

Although  we  utilize  numerous  controls,  protections  and  risk  management  strategies  to  attempt  to  mitigate  these 
risks, and management has not detected a material cyber-security incident to date, the sophistication and volume of 
these  security  threats  continues  to  increase.  In  addition,  the  escalation  of  geopolitical  tensions,  such  as  those 
caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, could result in heightened cybersecurity threats. We may not have the 
technical expertise or resources to successfully prevent every data breach or cyber-security incident. The potential 
consequences of a data breach or cyber-security incident could include claims against us, significant reputational 
damage to our company, damage to our business as a result of disclosure of proprietary information, and regulatory 
action  against  us,  which  may  include  fines  and  penalties.  Such  an  incident  could  cause  us  to  lose  business  and

commit resources, management time and money to remediate these breaches and notify aggrieved parties, any of 
which in turn could have an adverse impact on our business. We may also experience increasing costs associated 
with implementing and maintaining adequate safeguards against these types of incidents and attacks. 

In  addition,  the  information  security  and  data  privacy  regulatory  environment  is  increasingly  demanding.  We  are 
subject  to  numerous  laws  and  regulations  in  multiple  jurisdictions  governing  the  protection  of  the  personal  and 
confidential  information  of  our  clients  and/or  employees,  including  in  relation  to  medical  records  and  financial 
information.  These  laws  and  regulations  are  rapidly  expanding,  increasing  in  complexity  and  sometimes  conflict 
between  jurisdictions.  For  example,  the  E.U.  General  Data  Protection  Regulation  ("GDPR")  creates  rights  for 
individuals  to  control  their  personal  data  and  sets  forth  the  requirements  with  which  companies  handling  the 
personal data of E.U.-based data subjects have to comply (regardless of whether such data handling involves E.U.-
based  operations).  We  are  also  subject  to  the  GDPR  through  our  handling  of  the  personal  data  of  E.U.-based 
subjects in connection with our ordinary course operations. If any person, including any of our employees or those 
with whom we share such information, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with 
respect to our client data, or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to significant 
monetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, fines and/or criminal prosecution in one or more jurisdictions, 
including as a result of a violation of the GDPR. 

If outsourced providers such as third-party administrators, investment managers or other service providers 
were to breach their obligations to us, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. 

We  outsource  certain  business  functions  to  third-party  providers,  and  these  providers  may  not  perform  as 
anticipated  or  may  fail  to  adhere  to  their  obligations  to  us.  For  example,  certain  of  our  subsidiaries  rely  on 
relationships  with  a  number  of  third-party  administrators  under  contracts  pursuant  to  which  these  third-party 
administrators  manage  and  pay  claims  on  our  subsidiaries’  behalf  and  advise  with  respect  to  case  reserves.  In 
these relationships, we rely on controls incorporated in the provisions of the administration agreement, as well as on 
the administrator’s internal controls, to manage the claims process within our prescribed parameters. We also rely 
on  external  investment  managers  to  provide  services  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  our  investment  management 
agreements,  including  following  established  investment  guidelines. Although  we  monitor  these  administrators  and 
investment managers on an ongoing basis, we do not control them, and our service providers could exceed their 
authorities  or  otherwise  breach  their  obligations  to  us,  which,  if  material,  could  adversely  affect  our  business  and 
results  of  operations.  For  example,  a  third-party  investment  manager  may  breach  our  investment  guidelines  and 
expose us to risk beyond our prescribed tolerances, which could have an immediate negative financial impact. We 
may also be negatively impacted if third-party administrators mishandle claims, fail to administer claims effectively 
or efficiently, fail to maintain accurate books and records, or fail to comply with laws or regulations. 

Risks Relating to Ownership of our Shares 

The market price for our securities may experience volatility, which could cause a potential loss of value to 
our  investors,  and  our  ordinary  shares  are  thinly  traded,  so  the  market  value  of  our  ordinary  shares  may 
decline if large numbers of shares are sold. 

The  market  price  for  our  ordinary  shares  and  for  the  depositary  shares  representing  our  preferred  shares  may 
fluctuate substantially and could cause investment losses due to a number of factors. Such factors could include: 
announcements with respect to a specific acquisition or investment; changes in the value of our assets; our financial 
condition,  performance  and  prospects;  changes  in  projected  inflation  and  interest  rates;  changes  in  general 
conditions in the economy and the insurance industry; economic, financial, geopolitical, regulatory or judicial events 
that  affect  us  or  the  financial  markets  generally;  changes  in  management;  and  adverse  press  or  news 
announcements.  For  the  depositary  shares  representing  our  preferred  shares,  such  factors  could  also  include: 
whether  dividends  have  been  declared  on  the  preferred  shares;  whether  the  ratings  on  such  depositary  shares 
provided by any ratings agency have changed; changes in our credit ratings; our total outstanding indebtedness; the 
level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally; and the market for similar securities.

Our  ordinary  shares  have  in  the  past  been,  and  may  continue  to  be,  thinly  traded,  and  significant  sales  could 
adversely affect the market price for our ordinary shares and impair our ability to raise capital through offerings of 
our equity securities.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

A few significant shareholders may influence or control the direction of our business. If the ownership of 
our  ordinary  shares  continues  to  be  highly  concentrated,  it  may  limit  the  ability  of  other  shareholders  to 
influence significant corporate decisions. 

The interests of certain significant shareholders, including those that may be affiliated with members of our Board of 
Directors (our “Board”), may not be fully aligned with those of other shareholders, which could lead to a strategy that 
is not in such other shareholders’ best interests. As of December 31, 2022, the Canadian Pension Plan Investment 
Board  (“CPPIB”),  funds  managed  by  Stone  Point  Capital  LLC  and  its  affiliates,  Beck  Mack  &  Oliver,  and  three  of 
Enstar's executive officers (collectively) directly beneficially owned 9.4%, 9.7%, 4.3% and 5.6%, respectively, of our 
outstanding voting ordinary shares. CPPIB directly owns additional non-voting ordinary shares that, together with its 
voting  shares,  represented  an  economic  interest  of  17.2%  as  of  December  31,  2022.  In  addition,  CPPIB  Epsilon 
Ontario  Trust,  an  affiliate  of  CPPIB,  is  the  general  partner  CPPIB  Epsilon  Ontario  Limited  Partnership,  which 
indirectly  beneficially  owns  4.6%  of  our  outstanding  voting  ordinary  shares. Although  they  do  not  act  as  a  group, 
these  shareholders  may  exercise  significant  influence  over  matters  requiring  shareholder  approval,  and  their 
concentrated holdings may delay or deter possible changes in control of Enstar, which may reduce the market price 
of our ordinary shares.

Some  aspects  of  our  corporate  structure  and  certain  regulatory  limitations  may  discourage  third-party 
takeovers and other transactions or prevent the removal of our Board and management. 

Some provisions of our bye-laws have the effect of making more difficult or discouraging unsolicited takeover bids 
from  third  parties  or  preventing  the  removal  of  our  current  board  of  directors  and  management.  For  example,  our 
bye-laws contain restrictions on the ability of shareholders to (i) nominate persons to serve as directors, (ii) remove 
directors, (iii) submit resolutions to a shareholder vote, and (iv) request special general meetings. Also, a merger or 
amalgamation would have to be approved by three-fourths of our voting ordinary shares to take effect. In addition, 
our  Board  may  limit  a  shareholder’s  exercise  of  voting  rights  or  to  register  a  transfer  of  ordinary  shares  where  it 
deems it necessary to do so to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences. Our Board may also decline to 
register  a  transfer  of  shares  unless  all  applicable  consents,  authorizations,  permissions  or  approvals  of  any 
governmental  body  or  agency  in  Bermuda  and  other  applicable  jurisdictions  required  to  be  obtained  prior  to  such 
transfer shall have been obtained. We also have the authority under our bye-laws to reasonably request information 
from any shareholder for the purpose of determining whether a shareholder’s voting rights are to be limited pursuant 
to the bye-laws, and if a shareholder is unable to do so, we may eliminate the shareholder’s voting rights.

Insurance  laws  and  regulations  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  our  insurance  or  reinsurance  subsidiaries  operate 
require  prior  notices  or  regulatory  approval  of  changes  in  control  of  an  insurer  or  its  holding  company.  Different 
jurisdictions define changes in control differently, and generally any purchaser of 10% or more of the vote or value of 
our ordinary shares could become subject to regulation and be required to file certain notices and reports with the 
applicable  insurance  authorities.  These  laws  and  the  aspects  of  our  corporate  structure  outlined  above  may 
discourage potential acquisition proposals or prevent the removal of members of our Board and management and 
may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us. To the extent these provisions discourage takeover attempts, 
they  may  deprive  shareholders  of  opportunities  to  realize  takeover  premiums  for  their  shares  or  may  depress  the 
market price of the shares. 

Bermuda  Law  differs  from  the  laws  in  effect  in  the  United  States.  Shareholders  who  own  our  shares  may 
have more difficulty protecting their interests than shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

We are organized under the laws of Bermuda, and as a result our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting 
their interests than shareholders of a U.S corporation. For example: 

•

•

•

•

class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Bermuda law;

under  Bermuda  law,  only  shareholders  holding  collectively  5%  or  more  of  our  outstanding  ordinary  shares  or 
groups of shareholders numbering 100 or more are entitled to propose a resolution at our general meeting;

a substantial portion of our assets and certain of our directors and officers and their assets are located outside 
of  the  United  States  and  as  a  result  investors  may  have  difficulty  (i)  effecting  service  of  process  within  the 
United States or (ii) recovering against us or these directors and officers on judgments of U.S. courts;

no  claim  may  be  brought  in  Bermuda  against  us  or  our  directors  and  officers  for  violations  of  U.S.  federal 
securities laws, as such laws do not have force of law in Bermuda;

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K

Table of Contents

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

•

•

there is no treaty in effect between the United States and Bermuda providing for the enforcement of judgments 
of U.S. courts, and there are grounds upon which Bermuda courts may not enforce judgments of U.S. courts; 
and

some  remedies  available  under  the  laws  of  U.S.  jurisdictions,  including  U.S.  federal  securities  laws,  may  be 
prohibited in Bermuda courts as contrary to Bermuda’s public policy.

Certain  regulatory  and  other  constraints  may  limit  our  ability  to  pay  dividends  on  our  securities,  and 
dividends on our preferred shares are non-cumulative.

We  do  not  currently  intend  to  pay  a  cash  dividend  on  our  ordinary  shares.  If  our  Board  decided  to  commence  a 
dividend program in the future, we are subject to significant regulatory and other constraints that affect our ability to 
pay dividends and make other distributions on our ordinary and preferred shares. For example, under the Bermuda 
Companies  Act,  we  may  declare  or  pay  a  dividend  or  distribution  out  of  contributed  surplus  only  if  we  have 
reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that  we  are,  and  would  after  the  payment  be,  able  to  meet  our  liabilities  as  they 
become due or that the realizable value of our assets would thereby not be less than our liabilities. In addition, as 
described  above  under  “Risks  Relating  to  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources,”  we  are  a  holding  company  that  is 
dependent upon distributions from our operating subsidiaries for liquidity, which may not be available.  

Dividends on our preferred shares are non-cumulative and payable only out of available funds under Bermuda law. 
If  our  Board  (or  a  duly  authorized  committee  thereof)  does  not  authorize  and  declare  a  dividend  for  any  dividend 
period, holders of our preferred shares and, in turn, the depositary shares representing preferred shares, would not 
be entitled to receive any such dividend, and such unpaid dividend will not accrue and will not be payable at any 
time.  We  will  have  no  obligation  to  pay  dividends  for  a  dividend  period  on  or  after  the  dividend  payment  date  for 
such period if our Board has not declared such dividend before the related dividend payment date, whether or not 
dividends are declared for any subsequent dividend period with respect to any outstanding preferred shares and/or 
our ordinary shares.

Our ordinary and preferred shares are subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness and our ordinary 
shares rank junior to our outstanding preferred shares.

Our  preferred  shares  are  equity  interests  and  do  not  constitute  indebtedness.  As  such,  our  preferred  shares,  in 
addition to our ordinary shares, will rank junior to all of our indebtedness and other non-equity claims with respect to 
assets  available  to  satisfy  our  claims,  including  in  our  liquidation.  Our  preferred  shares  are  also  contractually 
subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of our subsidiaries, including all existing and future policyholder 
obligations  of  our  subsidiaries.  Additionally,  neither  our  ordinary  shares  nor  our  preferred  shares  represent  an 
interest  in  any  of  our  subsidiaries,  and  accordingly,  are  structurally  subordinated  to  all  obligations  of  our 
subsidiaries. Further, in the event of our liquidation, winding up or dissolution, our ordinary shares rank junior to our 
outstanding  preferred  shares.  In  such  an  event,  there  may  not  be  sufficient  assets  remaining  after  payments  to 
holders of our outstanding preferred shares to ensure payments to holders of our ordinary shares. 

There is no limitation on our issuance of securities that rank equally with or senior to the preferred shares.

We  may  issue,  without  limitation,  (1)  additional  depositary  shares  representing  additional  preferred  shares  that 
would  form  part  of  one  of  the  series  of  depositary  shares  representing  our  outstanding  preferred  shares,  and 
(2) additional series of securities that rank equally with or senior to the outstanding preferred shares. The issuance 
of additional preferred shares on par with or senior to the outstanding preferred shares would dilute the interests of 
the  holders  of  our  preferred  shares,  and  any  issuance  of  preferred  shares  senior  to  our  outstanding  preferred 
shares  or  of  additional  indebtedness  could  affect  our  ability  to  pay  dividends  on,  redeem  or  pay  the  liquidation 
preference on our preferred shares, or to make payments to holders of our ordinary shares from remaining assets of 
the Company, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Enstar. 

The  voting  rights  of  holders  of  our  preferred  shares  and,  in  turn,  the  depositary  shares  representing  our 
preferred shares are limited.

Holders of our outstanding preferred shares and, in turn, the depositary shares representing the preferred shares 
have no voting rights with respect to matters that generally require the approval of voting shareholders. In addition, 
if  dividends  on  any  of  our  outstanding  preferred  shares  have  not  been  declared  or  paid  for  the  equivalent  of  six 
dividend  payments,  whether  or  not  for  consecutive  dividend  periods,  holders  of  the  outstanding  preferred  shares 
and,  in  turn,  the  depositary  shares,  will,  subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions  contained  in  the  certificates  of 
designation  governing  the  preferred  shares,  be  entitled  to  vote  for  the  election  of  two  additional  directors  to  our 
Board. The holders shall be divested of the foregoing voting rights if and when dividends for at least four dividend

Table of Contents

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors

periods, whether or not consecutive, following a nonpayment event have been paid in full (or declared and a sum 
sufficient  for  such  payment  shall  have  been  set  aside).  In  addition,  holders  of  the  depositary  shares  must  act 
through  the  depositary  to  exercise  any  voting  rights  in  respect  of  the  preferred  shares. Although  each  depositary 
share is entitled to 1/1,000th of a vote, the depositary can vote only whole preferred shares. While the depositary 
will  vote  the  maximum  number  of  whole  preferred  shares  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  it  receives,  any 
remaining votes of holders of the depositary shares will not be voted. 

We  have  no  obligation  to  maintain  any  listing  of  the  depositary  shares  representing  our  outstanding 
preferred shares.

Although the depositary shares representing our outstanding preferred shares are listed on NASDAQ, such listings 
may  not  provide  significant  liquidity,  and  transaction  costs  in  any  secondary  market  could  be  high. The  difference 
between bid and ask prices in any secondary market could be substantial. As a result, holders of depositary shares 
representing our preferred shares (which do not have a maturity date) may be required to bear the financial risks of 
an  investment  in  the  depositary  shares  representing  preferred  shares  for  an  indefinite  period.  In  addition,  we 
undertake  no  obligation,  and  expressly  disclaim  any  obligation,  to  maintain  the  listing  of  the  depositary  shares 
representing our preferred shares on NASDAQ or any other stock exchange. If we elect to discontinue the listing at 
any time or the depositary shares representing the preferred shares otherwise are not listed on an applicable stock 
exchange,  the  dividends  paid  after  the  delisting  would  not  constitute  qualified  dividend  income  for  U.S.  federal 
income tax purposes (as dividends paid by a Bermuda corporation are qualified dividend income only if the stock 
with  respect  to  which  the  dividends  are  paid  is  readily  tradable  on  an  established  securities  market  in  the  United 
States).

A classification of the depositary shares representing our preferred shares by the National Association of 
Insurance Commissioners may impact U.S. insurance companies that purchase our preferred shares.

The NAIC may, in its discretion, classify securities in U.S. insurers’ portfolios as debt, preferred equity or common 
equity  instruments.  The  NAIC’s  written  guidelines  for  classifying  securities  as  debt,  preferred  equity  or  common 
equity include subjective factors that require the relevant NAIC examiner to exercise substantial judgment. There is 
therefore  a  risk  that  the  depositary  shares  representing  our  preferred  shares  may  be  classified  by  the  NAIC  as 
common  equity  instead  of  preferred  equity.  The  NAIC  classification  determines  the  amount  of  risk-based  capital 
(“RBC”)  charges  incurred  by  insurance  companies  in  connection  with  an  investment  in  a  security.  Securities 
classified  as  common  equity  by  the  NAIC  carry  RBC  charges  that  can  be  significantly  higher  than  the  RBC 
requirement  for  debt  or  preferred  equity.  Therefore,  any  classification  of  the  depositary  shares  representing  our 
preferred  shares  as  common  equity  may  adversely  affect  U.S.  insurance  companies  that  hold  depositary  shares 
representing  our  preferred  shares.  In  addition,  a  determination  by  the  NAIC  to  classify  the  depositary  shares 
representing  our  preferred  shares  as  common  equity  may  adversely  impact  the  trading  of  the  depositary  shares 
representing our preferred shares in the secondary market.

Our preferred shares are subject to our rights of redemption.

Our  preferred  shares  are  redeemable  pursuant  to  the  terms  set  forth  in  the  certificate  of  designations  governing 
such  series.  Whenever  we  redeem  preferred  shares  held  by  the  depositary,  the  depositary  will,  as  of  the  same 
redemption date, redeem the number of depositary shares representing preferred shares so redeemed. We have no 
obligation  to  redeem  or  repurchase  the  preferred  shares  under  any  circumstances.  If  the  preferred  shares  are 
redeemed  by  us,  you  may  not  be  able  to  reinvest  the  redemption  proceeds  in  a  comparable  security  at  a  similar 
return on your investment.

Market Information and Number of Holders

Our ordinary voting shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "ESGR." There is no 
established  trading  market  for  our  non-voting  ordinary  shares.  On  February  27,  2023,  there  were  1,196 
shareholders  of  record  of  our  voting  ordinary  shares  and  one  shareholder  of  record  of  our  non-voting  ordinary 
shares. This is not the number of beneficial owners of our voting ordinary shares as some shares are held in “street 
name” by brokers and others on behalf of individual owners.
Dividend Information

Historically, we have not declared a dividend on our ordinary shares. Our strategy is to retain earnings and invest 
distributions from our operating subsidiaries into our business. However, we may re-evaluate this strategy from time 
to time based on overall market conditions and other factors. Any payment of dividends must be approved by our 
Board. Furthermore, our ability to pay dividends is subject to certain restrictions.3,4

Operational Highlights 

Our consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflect our continued progress on providing capital 
release solutions to our clients by acquiring and managing their run-off portfolios. 

During 2022 we:

Assumed $3.9 billion of Loss Reserves from Run-off Transactions, including $3.1 billion 
from Aspen

•

•

•

In May 2022, we completed a loss portfolio transfer (“LPT”) transaction with Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited 
(“Aspen”) with respect to $3.1 billion of net loss reserves, subject to a limit of $3.6 billion. Our existing ADC with 
Aspen, which had acquired reserves of $782 million and closed in June 2020, was absorbed into this LPT.

As a result of this LPT transaction, we assumed an incremental $1.9 billion of net loss reserves with a diverse 
mix  of  property,  liability  and  specialty  lines  of  business,  in  exchange  for  incremental  premium  of  $1.8  billion5, 
and assumed claims control.

In August 2022, we closed a LPT transaction with Probitas Managing Agency Limited (“Probitas”) and assumed 
$61  million  of  net  loss  reserves  with  respect  to  the  2018  and  prior  year  of  account  exposures  of  Probitas’ 
managed  Syndicate  1492  which  cover  general  liability  and  financial  risks  underwritten  worldwide.  The  LPT 
converted into a reinsurance to close (“RITC”) effective January 1, 2023 following regulatory approvals. 

In  November  2022,  we  closed  a  LPT  transaction  with  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Argo  Group  International 
Holdings, Ltd. (“Argo”) covering a number of its direct U.S. casualty insurance portfolios, including construction, 
for accident years 2011 to 2019. 

At closing, we assumed $718 million of Argo’s net loss reserves in exchange for premium of $631 million, and 
recorded $93 million of DCA.  

Substantially Completed the Unwind of Enhanzed Re’s Reinsurance Transactions

•

•

•

•

In June 2022, Enhanzed Re paid a $200 million dividend, of which $150 million was retained by the Company, 
and $50 million was paid to Allianz SE (“Allianz”) in respect of its ownership interest in Enhanzed Re. 

Following the completion of our strategic review of Enhanzed Re earlier this year, in August 2022, we entered 
into  a  Master Agreement  with Allianz  through  which  we  agreed  to  a  series  of  transactions6  that  allowed  us  to 
unwind the Enhanzed Re reinsurance transactions in an orderly manner. 

Enhanzed Re completed and recognized the following transactions during the year ended December 31, 2022: 

◦

◦

Commuted  the  catastrophe  reinsurance  business  with  Allianz,  resulting  in  the  recognition  of  a  favorable 
commutation gain of $59 million; and 

Repaid the $70 million, in aggregate principal, of subordinated notes issued by Enhanzed Re to an affiliate 
of Allianz.

In November 2022, Enhanzed Re completed a novation of the reinsurance closed block of life annuity policies 
to Monument Re Limited (“Monument Re”). We settled the life liabilities and the related assets at carrying value 
in return for cash consideration as of the closing date. As at September 30, 2022, the carrying value of the life 
liabilities  and  related  assets  was  $1.2  billion  and  $980  million,  respectively,  which  would  be  recorded  as 
$328 million7 of other income if measured as of this date.  

◦ Our  net  earnings  attributable  to  Enstar  will  be  reduced  by  the  amount  attributable  to  Allianz’s  24.9% 
noncontrolling  interest  in  Enhanzed  Re  at  the  time  of  the  transaction  and  a  portion  of  our  other  income 
recorded  will  be  subject  to  deferral  over  the  expected  settlement  period  for  the  life  annuity  policies  to 

5 Refer to “New Business” section for further details. 
6 Refer to Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further details. 
7The $328 million of other income will consist of the gain or loss on the novation transaction and the impact of the realization of AOCI relating to 
the  adoption  of  the  LDTI  standard  which  was  retrospectively  applied  as  of  the  January  1,  2023  adoption  date.  Refer  to  Note  2  to  our 
consolidated financial statements for further details.

account  for  our  pre-existing  20%  ownership  interest  in  Monument  Re,  resulting  in  an  expected  overall 
increase in our first quarter 2023 net earnings of $197 million from the novation. 

◦

Activity for the period from October 1, 2022 to November 7, 2022 will impact the amount of other income 
and net earnings recorded.  

• On  December  28,  2022,  Enhanzed  Re  repurchased  the  entire  24.9%  ownership  interest  Allianz  held  in 
Enhanzed  Re  for  $174  million. The  purchase  price  will  be  subject  to  a  post-closing  adjustment  based  on  the 
final  net  book  value  of  Enhanzed  Re  as  of  December  31,  2022.  Following  the  completion  of  this  transaction, 
Enhanzed Re became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar. 

•

The final impact of the novation and the share repurchase will be reflected in our first quarter 2023 results, as 
we report the results of Enhanzed Re on a one quarter reporting lag. 

Executed Capital Transactions

• We  completed  a  $500  million  junior  subordinated  notes  offering  in  January  2022,  the  net  proceeds  of  which 
were primarily used to fund the payment at maturity of the outstanding $280 million aggregate principal amount 
of our senior notes, which matured in March 2022. 

• We repurchased 697,580 voting ordinary shares during the year  ended December 31, 2022 for  an  aggregate 
$163 million, representing an average price per share of $233.92. During the year ended December 31, 2022, 
we utilized $105 million of the $200 million authorized under the 2022 Repurchase Program and the remaining 
$59 million authorized under the 2021 Repurchase Program to repurchase our ordinary shares. There were no 
share repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Consolidated Results of Operations - For the Years Ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 

Primary GAAP Financial Measures 

We use the following GAAP measures to manage the company and monitor our performance: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

Net  earnings  and  net  earnings  attributable  to  Enstar  ordinary  shareholders,  which  collectively  provide  a 
measure of our performance focusing on underwriting, investment and expense results;

Comprehensive income attributable to Enstar, which provides a measure of the total return, including unrealized 
investment gains and losses on investments, as well as other elements of other comprehensive income;

Book value per share (“BVPS”), which we use to measure the value of our company over time; 

Return on equity (“ROE”), which measures our profitability by dividing our earnings attributable to the company 
by our shareholders’ equity; 

Total investment return (“TIR”), which measures the rate of return we obtain, both realized and unrealized, on 
our investments; and 

Run-off liability earnings (“RLE”) and RLE %, which measure both the dollar amount of prior period development 
we  achieve  on  managing  our  acquired  portfolios  (RLE)  and  the  percentage  rate  of  return  we  obtain  on 
managing our run-off liabilities by dividing our prior period net incurred losses and LAE by our average net loss 
reserves (RLE %).

We amended our calculation of TIR to include the unrealized gains (losses), net of reclassification adjustments and 
excluding foreign exchange on our AFS securities, included within other comprehensive income (“OCI”). We believe 
this represents a better measure of “total” investment return, and eliminates the discrepancy between the numerator 
and  denominator,  whereby  the  fair  value  of  AFS  securities  includes  any  unrealized  gains  (losses)  in  AOCI.  The 
change in the calculation was applied to all periods presented herein. 

Effective December 31, 2022, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for calculating the amortization of our 
DCAs  and  retrospectively  applied  this  change  to  all  applicable  prior  period  financial  statement  information. As  of 
January 1, 2020, the cumulative effect of this change resulted in a $158 million increase to retained earnings. The 
favorable impacts to net earnings for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $163 million, $65 
million and $4 million, respectively. 

We  regard  DCA  as  an  adjustment  to  the  liabilities  that  we  acquire  and  record  at  book  value.  As  a  result,  DCA 
reflects the time value of money difference between the premium received and liabilities recorded. As a result of the 
change:

• We no longer adjust DCA amortization as if any change in ultimates losses were known on inception; and 

• We  have  removed  DCA  amortization  from  our  measures  of  RLE  and  RLE  %  as  we  now  view  DCA  as  a 
separate overall cost of the acquisition of the contract. The change in the calculation was applied to all prior 
periods presented herein.

Further information on this change in accounting principle can be found in Note 2 and Note 9 to our consolidated 
financial statements.

Overall Results

Year Ended December 31, 2022 versus 2021:

Net loss attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders was $906 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which 
compares to net income of $502 million from 2021, as a result of:

•

Negative investment results (sum of net investment income, net realized (losses) gains, net unrealized (losses) 
gains  and  (loss)  earnings  for  equity  method  investments)  of  $1.2  billion  compared  to  favorable  investment 
results of $522 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by:

◦

◦

◦

Net  realized  and  unrealized  losses  of  $1.6  billion,  primarily  related  to  fixed  income  assets,  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2022, compared to net gains of $117 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. 
Rising  interest  rates  across  U.S.,  U.K.  and  European  markets,  in  addition  to  widening  investment  grade 
credit spreads led to the net losses on our fixed income securities, and global equity market declines and 
widening  high  yield  and  leveraged  loan  credit  spreads  led  to  the  net  losses  on  our  other  investments, 
including equities. 

Losses  from  equity  method  investments  of  $74  million  compared  to  earnings  of  $93  million  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2021 further contributed to the decrease in our earned investment returns, primarily 
as  a  result  of  recognizing  a  $52  million  other-than-temporary  impairment  relating  to  the  carrying  value  of 
one of our equity method investments and consolidating Enhanzed Re effective September 1, 2021. Prior to 
that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in earnings from equity method investments within the 
Investments  segment.  Our  earnings  relating  to  Enhanzed  Re  prior  to  the  consolidation  in  2021  were  $82 
million. 

This was partially offset by an increase in net investment income of $143 million due to investment of new 
premium,  reinvestment  of  maturing  investments  at  higher  yields  and  fixed  income  securities  with  floating 
rates which reset at higher rates of interest income.

A net gain on purchase and sales of subsidiaries of $73 million in 2021, primarily driven by the bargain purchase 
gain recognized on the step acquisition of Enhanzed Re and a net gain on sales of subsidiaries of $26 million.

Lower  net  earned  premiums  of  $179  million,  partially  due  to  placing  our  Starstone  International  business  into 
run-off in mid-2020. 

•

•

This was partially offset by: 

•

Reduced total expenses of $477 million as a result of the combination of: 

◦

◦

◦

Reductions of $124 million in current period net incurred losses and LAE and $34 million in acquisition costs 
as  a  result  of  largely  exiting  or  placing  into  run-off  our  active  underwriting  platforms,  including  StarStone 
International; 

An  increase  in  favorable  development  in  net  incurred  losses  and  LAE  for  prior  periods  of  $353  million, 
primarily driven by a change in fair value of our 2017 and 2018 portfolios where we elected the fair value 
option  and  reductions  in  estimates  of  net  ultimate  losses.  This  resulted  in  RLE  of  6.3%  in  2022  in 
comparison to RLE of 3.9% in 2021; in addition to

A reduction of $36 million in general and administrative expenses primarily driven by reductions to long-term 
incentive plan costs and a decrease in IT costs as a result of reduced project activity, partially offset by the 
absence  of  a  proportional  reduction  in  accrued  performance-based  costs  which  were  recorded  in  the 
comparative period.

The  above  factors  contributed  to  our  2022  net  loss  of  $945  million  as  compared  to  2021  net  earnings  of  $553 
million. 

Comprehensive loss attributable to Enstar was $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 
comprehensive income of $440 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The variance was primarily due to   
an  increase  in  unrealized  losses  on  our  fixed  income  securities,  AFS,  as  a  result  of  rising  interest  rates.  The 
unrealized  losses  on  our  fixed  income  securities,  AFS,  combined  with  our  investment  results,  contributed  to  an 
unfavorable TIR of (9.0)% in 2022, in comparison to a TIR of 2.0% in 2021. 

BVPS decreased by 25.2% primarily as a result of comprehensive loss attributable to Enstar of $1.4 billion.

As a result of the current period net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Enstar described above, our ROE 
decreased by 23.5 pp.

Year Ended December 31, 2021 versus 2020:

Net earnings attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders decreased by $1.2 billion from $1.7 billion in 2020 to $502 
million in 2021, as a result of: 

•

•

•

Reduced  investment  results  of  $1.7  billion,  driven  by  significant  outperformance  by  our  investments  in  2020, 
during which period we had net unrealized gains of $1.6 billion not repeated in 2021. In 2021, we redeemed and 
liquidated  the  InRe  Fund,  which  provided  $1.2  billion  of  unrealized  gains  in  2020,  and  our  other  investments, 
including  equities,  were  impacted  by  reduced  U.S.  and  Chinese  equity  market  returns  combined  with  rising 
interest rates.

Lower  net  premiums  earned  of  $327  million,  primarily  relating  to  our  legacy  underwriting  business  which  we 
exited in 2020. In 2021, we continued to earn premium from our Run-off segment relating to our AmTrust RITC 
transactions  and  StarStone  International  business,  which  was  put  into  run-off  effective  June  2020  and 
transferred to the Run-off segment effective January 1, 2021. 

Decreased  other  income  of  $98  million,  primarily  from  reduced  favorable  experience  with  our  defendant A&E 
liabilities. 

This was partially offset by:

•

•

The net gain on purchase and sales of subsidiaries of $73 million, which was driven by a bargain purchase gain 
associated with our step acquisition of Enhanzed Re. 

Reduced total expenses of $858 million as a result of the combination of: 

◦

◦

the exit of our legacy underwriting businesses resulting in a reduction of $349 million in current period net 
incurred  losses  and  LAE,  $138  million  in  acquisition  costs  and  $148  million  in  general  and  administrative 
costs within the Legacy Underwriting segment; in addition to 

an increase in favorable development in net incurred losses and LAE of $371 million, primarily driven by a 
change in fair value of our 2017 and 2018 portfolios where we elected the fair value option. This improved 
our RLE to 3.9% in 2021 compared to 0.4% in 2020. 

The  reductions  in  income  and  operating  expenses  described  above  resulted  in  a  $1.2  billion  decrease  in  net 
earnings from $1.7 billion to $553 million. 

Comprehensive income attributable to Enstar decreased by $1.4 billion from $1.8 billion in 2020 to $440 million in 
2021 due an increase in unrealized losses on our fixed income securities, AFS as a result of rising interest rates. 
The  unrealized  losses  on  our  fixed  income  securities,  AFS,  combined  with  the  unfavorable  movement  in  our 
investment results, contributed to our TIR of 2.0% for 2021 which was significantly lower than our TIR of 14.6% for 
2020. 

BVPS increased by 12.0% as a result of repurchasing 18.6% of our ordinary shares at a 24.0% discount to book 
value, combined with comprehensive income attributable to Enstar of $440 million for 2021.

Overall, our ROE decreased by 30.5 pp.

2021 versus 2020

ROE decreased by 30.5 pp primarily due to the components in the following diagram:

Adjusted  ROE*  decreased  by  31.8  pp,  as  the  impact  of  excluding  the  favorable  change  in  the  interest  rate 
components of the valuation of liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option offset the exclusion of the 
unfavorable impact of net realized and unrealized losses on fixed income securities.

We  discuss  the  results  of  our  operations  by  aggregating  certain  captions  from  our  consolidated  statements  of 
earnings, as we believe it provides a more meaningful view of our results and eliminates repetition that would arise 
if captions were discussed on an individual basis. 

In order to facilitate discussion, we have grouped the following captions:

•

•

Underwriting  results:  includes  net  premiums  earned,  net  incurred  losses  and  LAE,  policyholder  benefit 
expenses and acquisition costs. 

Investment results: includes net investment income, net realized (losses) gains, net unrealized (losses) gains 
(recorded through the income statement and other comprehensive income) and (losses) earnings from equity 
method investments.

• General and administrative results: includes general and administrative expenses.

Underwriting Results

Our  strategy  is  focused  on  effectively  managing  (re)insurance  portfolios  underwritten  in  previous  years  that  we 
assume through our provision of capital release solutions and acquisition of portfolios and businesses in run-off.

Although  we  have  largely  exited  our  active  underwriting  platforms,  we  still  record  net  premiums  earned  and  the 
associated current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs as a result of the run-off of unearned 
premiums from transactions completed in recent years. 

Premiums earned in the Run-off segment are generally offset by the related current period net incurred losses and 
LAE and acquisition costs. 

The components of underwriting results for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

Current Period

The  current  period  underwriting  results  from  our  (re)insurance  operations  include  net  earned  premiums  that  have 
been declining as a result of our transition away from active underwriting activities.

The  reductions  in  net  premiums  earned  and  current  period  net  incurred  losses  and  LAE  were  driven  by  reduced 
levels of activity arising from our exit of our active underwriting platforms beginning in 2020. 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we earned premium from our StarStone International business and from 
our Assumed Life segment. In comparison, our 2021 and 2020 earned premium was primarily driven by StarStone 
International and AmTrust RITC business, which was entered into in 2019. 

Prior Periods - RLE

The following tables summarize RLE, RLE %, Adjusted RLE* and Adjusted RLE %* by acquisition year for the years 
ended  December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  which  management  believes  is  useful  in  measuring  and  monitoring 
performance of our claims management activity on the portfolios that we have acquired. This permits comparability 
between acquisition years of different loss reserve volumes.

2022:

Our  RLE  %  was  positively  impacted  by  a  net  reduction  in  estimates  of  net  ultimate  losses  of  $403  million,  a 
reduction  of  $200  million  in  the  fair  value  of  liabilities  for  which  we  have  elected  the  fair  value  option  and  a  $135 
million reduction in provisions for ULAE.

We recorded:

Favorable RLE of $160 million in acquisition years 2019 and 2021 on our ADC contracts where our cedants have 
experienced continued favorable ground-up performance.

Favorable RLE in the 2017 acquisition year was driven predominantly by a reduction in the fair value of liabilities for 
which we have elected the fair value option. 

Favorable RLE in the 2018 acquisition year was driven by favorable claims activity from major claims reviews on our 
professional  indemnity/directors  and  officers  and  marine,  aviation  and  transit  lines  of  business  for  our  Lloyd’s 
syndicate books combined with a reduction in the fair value of liabilities where we have elected the fair value option.

Favorable RLE in the 2019 acquisition year was driven by continued favorable experience in an ADC contract.

Unfavorable  RLE  in  the  2020  acquisition  year  was  adversely  impacted  by  general  casualty  liabilities  where  we 
experienced additional claim reporting latency and unexpected increased severity on a small number of large New 
York Labor Law claims, which resulted in increased overall ultimate loss estimates on one portfolio. In addition, we 
experienced  higher  than  expected  claims  severity,  primarily  on  older  liabilities,  and  slower  than  expected  claim 
settlement rates related to our ride share motor portfolio. This was partially offset by favorable development on other 
portfolios.

Favorable  RLE  in  the  2021  acquisition  year  was  driven  by  continued  favorable  experience  in  our  workers’ 
compensation  portfolios,  which  benefited  from  lower  severity  trends  on  certain  existing  claims,  reduced  levels  of 
expected frequency of claims for excess workers’ compensation risks, favorable claim settlements, and accelerated 
and favorable claim settlement patterns on certain portfolios. In addition, we recorded favorable development on an 
ADC contract where the cedants have experienced continued favorable ground-up performance. We also recorded 
favorable claim activity on the Assumed Life segment catastrophe book, combined with the recognition of a gain on 
commutation of the catastrophe reinsurance business of $59 million.

Favorable RLE in the 2022 acquisition year was primarily driven by a portfolio where our initial estimate of claims 
handling costs (or ULAE) were reduced, as we achieved better than expected current and future cost economies of 
scale on this transaction.  

Our  Adjusted RLE %* was positively impacted by the net reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to the 
Run-off segment, as described above. It excludes the impact of the changes in the discount rate upon the fair value 
of liabilities where we have elected the fair value option and the amortization of fair value adjustments relating to 
purchased subsidiaries.

2021:

Overall,  RLE  %  and Adjusted  RLE*  %  were  primarily  driven  by  net  favorable  actual  claims  experience  compared 
with our expected claims trends.  This was notable in the 2012 and prior, 2017 and 2018 acquisition years.

RLE was positively impacted by a net reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $281 million, a reduction of 
$75 million in the fair value of liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option and a $63 million reduction in 
provisions for ULAE.    

Adjusted RLE* excludes the impact of the changes  in the discount rate upon the fair value of liabilities where we 
have  elected  the  fair  value  option,  the  impact  of  changes  in  ULAE  and  the  amortization  of  fair  value  adjustments 
relating to purchased subsidiaries. 

Other notable events within our acquisition years were:

Adjusted RLE* for our 2019 acquisition year had lower than expected asbestos related claim frequency related to 
our  defendant  A&E  liabilities.  RLE  and  RLE  %  does  not  include  the  impact  of  changes  to  our  defendant  A&E 
liabilities.

Our  2020  acquisition  year  had  adverse  development  on  our  motor  book  offset  by  favorable  development  in  other 
portfolios relating to the 2018 and 2019 accident years.

Acquisition year 2021 experienced favorable claim activity in our professional indemnity/directors and officers and 
motor lines of business relative to expectations at take-on.

2020:

Overall,  RLE  %  and Adjusted  RLE*  %  were  primarily  driven  by  a  mix  of  favorable  and  unfavorable  actual  claims 
experience compared with our expected claims trends. Our experience was notably favorable in our 2012 and prior, 
2016,  2017  and  2018  acquisition  years,  offset  by  adverse  development  in  our  2020  acquisition  year  as  detailed 
below.

RLE  was  adversely  impacted  by  an  increase  of  $119  million  in  2020  relating  to  the  change  in  the  discount  rate 
component  of  the  fair  value  of  liabilities  for  which  we  have  elected  the  fair  value  option  in  the  2017  and  2018 
acquisition years as a result of decreases in interest rates, which was offset by a net reduction in estimates of net 
ultimate losses of $130 million and a $49 million reduction in provisions for ULAE. 

Other notable events within our acquisition years were:

Adjusted RLE* for our 2016 and 2019 acquisition years were favorably impacted by lower than expected asbestos 
related  claim  frequency  related  to  our  defendant A&E  liabilities.  RLE  and  RLE  %  does  not  include  the  impact  of 
changes to our defendant A&E liabilities.

Our 2017 and 2018 acquisition years had favorable development on losses relating primarily to older accident years 
on asbestos related claims and reduced asbestos related claim frequency, partially offset by the adverse impact on 
RLE % of changes in the discount rate component of the fair value of liabilities for which we have elected the fair 
value option. 

Our 2020 acquisition year was driven by adverse development on the motor book, offset by favorable development 
in other portfolios relating to older accident years.

liquidity needs, including our obligation to pay losses and future policyholder benefit expenses. 

The components of our investment results split between our fixed income assets (which includes our short-term and 
fixed maturity investments classified as trading and AFS, funds held-directly managed, cash and cash equivalents,

Net Investment Income

2022 versus 2021: Net investment income increased primarily due to: 

•

•

an increase in our average aggregate fixed income assets of $1.2 billion due to new business acquired during 
2022 and late 2021; and

an  increase  in  our  book  yield  of  63  basis  points  due  to  a  combination  of  investment  of  new  premium  and 
reinvestment of fixed income securities at higher yields and the impact of rising short-term interest rates on the 
$2.9 billion of our fixed income securities that are subject to floating interest rates. Our floating rate investments 
generated increased net investment income of $59 million, which equates to an increase of 195 basis points on 
those investments in comparison to the prior year.

2021 versus 2020: Net investment income increased primarily due to:

•

an  increase  in  our  average  aggregate  fixed  income  assets  of  $4.2  billion  due  to  new  business  during  2021;

an increase in net realized and unrealized losses on fixed income assets, including OCI of $1.4 billion, primarily 
driven  by  more  than  270  basis  points  of  rising  interest  rates  across  U.S.,  U.K.  and  European  markets,    in 
addition to widening of investment-grade credit spreads through 2022; and

net  realized  and  unrealized  losses  on  other  investments,  including  equities,  of  $433  million  compared  to  net 
gains of $327 million in 2021. The unfavorable variance of $760 million was primarily driven by:

◦

◦

losses  from  our  public  equities,  fixed  income  funds,  CLO  equities  and  hedge  funds  in  2022,  largely  as  a 
result of global equity market declines and the widening of high yield and leveraged loan credit spreads; in 
comparison to

net realized and unrealized gains recognized in 2021 in our fixed income funds, public equity, private equity 
CLO equities, private debt and real estate holdings, driven by the tightening of high yield and loan spreads 
and rallies in global equity markets.

2021 versus 2020: Net realized and unrealized gains decreased primarily due to: 

•

•

net realized and unrealized losses on fixed income assets, including OCI of $310 million in 2021 compared to 
net  realized  annualized  gains,  including  OCI  of  $376  million  in  the  prior  year,  a  negative  variance  of  $686 
million,  which  was  primarily  driven  by  rising  interest  rates  across  U.S.,  U.K.  and  European  markets,  partially 
offset by a tightening in credit spreads; and

a  decrease  in  net  realized  and  unrealized  gains  on  other  investments,  including  equities,  of  $1.0  billion  or 
75.5%, from the prior year. This was primarily driven by:

◦

net realized and unrealized losses of $58 million in the InRe Fund primarily due to the deterioration of global

net  realized  and  unrealized  gains  of  $327  million  in  our  public  equity,  private  equity  and  CLO  equities, 
driven by tightening of high yield and loan spreads and rallies in global equity markets.

This  was  in  comparison  to  net  realized  and  unrealized  gains  of  $1.3  billion  recognized  in  2020,  mainly 
driven by unrealized gains of $1.2 billion relating to the InRe Fund.

Earnings (losses) from equity method investments

Effective September 1, 2021, Enhanzed Re was consolidated by us8. Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re 
were recorded in earnings (losses) from equity method investments on a one quarter lag.

2022  versus  2021:  The  negative  variance  of  $167  million  when  comparing  losses  in  2022  from  equity  method 
investments to earnings in 2021 was primarily due to:

•

•

our  acquisition  of  the  controlling  interest  in  and  subsequent  consolidation  of  Enhanzed  Re  in  2021  (which 
included $82 million of equity method earnings prior to its consolidation in September 2021); and

recognizing  a  $52  million  other-than-temporary  impairment  to  the  carrying  value  of  one  of  our  equity  method 
investments.

The consolidated net loss from Enhanzed Re was $235 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, driven by 
unrealized  investment  losses  which  compared  to  the  $82  million  from  Enhanzed  Re  that  was  included  in  equity 
method investment earnings in 2021. 

2021 versus 2020: Earnings from equity method investments decreased, primarily due to:

•

•

a  reduction  in  Enhanzed  Re  earnings,  primarily  driven  by  catastrophe  losses  from  the  European  storms, 
German floods and worsening of COVID-19 claims sustained in the second quarter of 2021 for which our share 
of losses was $35 million, partially offset by significant net realized and unrealized gains on investments in the 
last quarter of 2020; and

a  reduction  in  Monument  Re  earnings  as  a  result  of  a  decrease  in  bargain  purchase  gains  relative  to  the 
comparative period.

The overall decrease in the balance of our fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 billion for 
the year ended December 31, 2022 was driven by the redeployment of a portion of the InRe Fund redemptions from

General and administrative expenses

2022  to  2021:  The  $36  million  decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  was  driven  by  reductions  in 
professional fees and salaries and benefits expenses, driven by a reduction in variable incentive plan results. This 
was partially offset by an increase in accrued short term incentives. 

2021  to  2020:  The  $135  million  decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  was  primarily  driven  by  the 
decision  to  place  StarStone  International  in  run-off  and  the  sale  of Atrium.  There  was  an  additional  decrease  in

New Business

We define new business as material transactions, which generally take the form of reinsurance or direct business 
transfers, or business acquisitions. 

When we acquire new business through reinsurance or direct business transfers, the liabilities we assume typically 
exceed the fair value of the assets we receive. This is generally due to the future earnings expected on the assets. 

The difference between the liabilities assumed and the assets acquired is recorded as a DCA or DGL, which is then 
amortized  over  the  expected  settlement  period. As  such,  the  performance  of  the  new  business  is  assessed  over 
time by comparing the net of investment income, loss reserve development and amortization of the DCA or DGL.

The  table  below  sets  forth  a  summary  of  new  business  that  we  have  completed  between  January  1,  2022  and 
December 31, 2022:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our key financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we present other non-GAAP financial measures 
that  we  use  to  manage  our  business,  compare  our  performance  against  prior  periods  and  against  our  peers,  and  as 
performance measures in our incentive compensation program. 

These  non-GAAP  financial  measures  provide  an  additional  view  of  our  operational  performance  over  the  long-term  and 
provide  the  opportunity  to  analyze  our  results  in  a  way  that  is  more  aligned  with  the  manner  in  which  our  management 
measures our underlying performance.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, 
is  used  to  enhance  the  understanding  of  certain  aspects  of  our  financial  performance.  It  is  not  meant  to  be  considered  in 
isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Some of the adjustments reflected in our non-GAAP measures are recurring items, such as the exclusion of adjustments to 
net  realized  and  unrealized  (gains)/losses  on  fixed  income  securities  recognized  in  our  income  statement,  the  fair  value  of 
certain  of  our  loss  reserve  liabilities  for  which  we  have  elected  the  fair  value  option,  and  the  amortization  of  fair  value 
adjustments. 

Management  makes  these  adjustments  in  assessing  our  performance  so  that  the  changes  in  fair  value  due  to  interest  rate 
movements, which are applied to some but not all of our assets and liabilities as a result of preexisting accounting elections, 
do not impair comparability across reporting periods. 

It is important for the readers of our periodic filings to understand that these items will recur from period to period. 

However, we exclude these items for the purpose of presenting a comparable view across reporting periods of the impact of 
our underlying claims management and investment without the effect of interest rate fluctuations on assets that we anticipate 
to hold to maturity and non-cash changes to the fair value of our reserves. 

Similarly,  our  non-GAAP  measures  reflect  the  exclusion  of  certain  items  that  we  deem  to  be  nonrecurring,  unusual  or 
infrequent when the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is not reasonably likely that such item may recur within two 
years,  nor  was  there  a  similar  charge  or  gain  in  the  preceding  two  years.  This  includes  adjustments  related  to  bargain 
purchase  gains  on  acquisitions  of  businesses,  net  gains  or  losses  on  sales  of  subsidiaries,  net  assets  of  held  for  sale  or 
disposed subsidiaries classified as discontinued operations, and other items that we separately disclose.

We have changed our non-GAAP measures in 2022 as follows:

•

The opening GAAP balances of our 2021 and 2020 Adjusted BVPS*, Adjusted ROE* and Adjusted RLE* measures have 
been retrospectively adjusted for a change in accounting principle9. 

• We  no  longer  remove  ULAE  from  our Adjusted  RLE  and  RLE  %  calculations  as  our  estimate  of  future  claims  handling 
costs  is  connected  to  our  claims  settlement  strategies  and  outcomes  and  the  RLE  measures  now  reflect  the  direct  and 
indirect performance of the management of our liabilities.    

*Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for reconciliation to the applicable GAAP financial measure.

Purpose of Non-GAAP Measure over GAAP Measure

Increases the number of ordinary shares to reflect the exercise of 
equity awards granted but not yet vested as, over the long term, this 
presents both management and investors with a more economically 
accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns by 
factoring in the impact of share dilution. 

We use this non-GAAP measure in our incentive compensation 
program. 

Calculating the operating income (loss) as a percentage of our 
adjusted opening Enstar ordinary shareholders' equity provides a 
more consistent measure of the performance of our business by 
enabling comparison between the financial periods presented.

-change in fair value of insurance contracts for which 
we have elected the fair value option (1),
-amortization of fair value adjustments,
-net gain/loss on purchase and sales of subsidiaries 
(if any),
-net earnings from discontinued operations (if any),
-tax effects of adjustments, and
-adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests

Opening Enstar ordinary shareholders' equity, less:
-net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturity 
investments and funds held-directly managed,
-fair value of insurance contracts for which we have 
elected the fair value option (1),
-fair value adjustments, and
-net assets of held for sale or disposed subsidiaries 
classified as discontinued operations (if any)

We eliminate the impact of net realized and unrealized (gains) losses 
on fixed maturity investments and funds-held directly managed and 
the change in fair value of insurance contracts for which we have 
elected the fair value option, as: 
•

we typically hold most of our fixed income securities until the 
earlier of maturity or the time that they are used to fund any 
settlement of related liabilities which are generally recorded at 
cost; and 
removing the fair value option improves comparability since 
there are limited acquisition years for which we elected the fair 
value option.  

•

Therefore, we believe that excluding their impact on our earnings 
improves comparability of our core operational performance across 
periods.    

We include fair value adjustments as non-GAAP adjustments to the 
adjusted operating income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary 
shareholders as they are non-cash charges that are not reflective of 
the impact of our claims management strategies on our loss 
portfolios. 

We eliminate the net gain (loss) on the purchase and sales of 
subsidiaries and net earnings from discontinued operations, as these 
items are not indicative of our ongoing operations.   

We use this non-GAAP measure in our incentive compensation 
program.

Add:

Purpose of Non-GAAP Measure over GAAP Measure

Calculating the RLE as a percentage of our adjusted average net 
loss reserves provides a more meaningful and comparable 
measurement of the impact of our claims management strategies on 
our loss portfolios across acquisition years and also to our overall 
financial periods. 

We use this measure to evaluate the impact of our claims 
management strategies because it provides visibility into our ability to 
settle our claims obligations for amounts less than our initial estimate 
at the point of acquiring the obligations.    

The following components of periodic recurring net incurred losses 
and LAE and net loss reserves are not considered key components 
of our claims management performance for the following reasons: 

•

•

•

•

The results of our Legacy Underwriting segment have been  
economically transferred to a third party primarily through use of 
reinsurance and a Capacity Lease Agreement(2); as such, the 
results are not a relevant contribution to Adjusted RLE, which is 
designed to analyze the impact of our claims management 
strategies;  
The results of our Assumed Life segment relate only to our 
exposure to active property catastrophe business; as this 
business is not in run-off, the results are not a relevant 
contribution to Adjusted RLE;  
The change in fair value of insurance contracts for which we 
have elected the fair value option(1) has been removed to 
support comparability between the two acquisition years for 
which we elected the fair value option in reserves assumed and 
the acquisition years for which we did not make this election 
(specifically, this election was only made in the 2017 and 2018 
acquisition years and the election of such option is irrevocable); 
and
The amortization of fair value adjustments are non-cash charges 
that obscure our trends on a consistent basis.

We include our performance in managing claims and estimated 
future expenses on our defendant A&E liabilities because such 
performance is relevant to assessing our claims management 
strategies even though such liabilities are not included within the loss 
reserves.

We use this measure to assess the performance of our claim 
strategies and part of the performance assessment of our past 
acquisitions.

Adjusted total investment return (dollars) recognized 
in earnings for the applicable period  divided by 
period average adjusted total investable assets.

Provides a key measure of the return generated on the capital held in 
the business and is reflective of our investment strategy.  

Total investment return (dollars), adjusted for:

maturity investments and funds held-directly 
managed; and
-unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities, 
AFS included within OCI, net of reclassification 
adjustments and excluding foreign exchange. 

Provides a consistent measure of investment returns as a 
percentage of all assets generating investment returns. 

We adjust our investment returns to eliminate the impact of the 
change in fair value of fixed income securities (both credit spreads 
and interest rates), as we typically hold most of these investments 
until the earlier of maturity or used to fund any settlement of related 
liabilities which are generally recorded at cost.

relates to our defendant A&E liabilities in the calculation of Adjusted RLE*, as these provisions are related to our insurance liabilities and contribute to our 
claims management performance. The comparative periods in 2021 and 2020 have been adjusted accordingly.

the return generated on the capital held in the business. It is reflective of our investment strategy and it provides a 
consistent measure of investment returns as a percentage of all assets generating investment returns.

SEGMENT NET EARNINGS

$ 

339  $ 

217  $ 

122  $ 

143  $ 

2022 versus 2021: Net earnings from our Run-off segment increased by $122 million, primarily due to:

•

•

•

•

A $148 million increase in favorable PPD, driven by a $78 million increase in the reduction in estimates of net 
ultimate losses.

◦

◦

◦

Results  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  were  driven  by  favorable  development  of  $318  million  on 
our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of favorable claim settlements, most notably in the 
2017 to 2021 acquisition years. We also had favorable development of $56 million on our marine, aviation 
and transit lines of business relating to the 2014, 2018 and 2019 acquisition years as a result of favorable 
experience across a variety of claim types; partially offset by

Adverse development on our general casualty and motor lines of business of $57 million and $74 million, 
respectively, most notably impacting the 2020 acquisition year, as a result of worse than expected claims 
experience, adverse development on claims and higher than expected claims severity.

Results  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  were  primarily  related  to  favorable  development  on  our 
workers’ compensation, property and marine, aviation and transit lines of business as a result of better than 
expected  claims  experience  and  favorable  results  from  actuarial  reviews,  partially  offset  by  adverse 
development on our general casualty line of business due to an increase in opioid exposure and increased 
expectations of latent claims and a lengthening of the payment pattern related to our 2019 acquisition year.

A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $45 million, primarily driven by a continued decrease in 
salaries  and  benefits  and  other  costs  following  our  exit  of  our  StarStone  business  beginning  in  2020  and  a 
reduction in IT costs as a result of reduced project activity; partially offset by

A reduction in other income of $51 million, primarily driven by lower favorable prior period development related 
to our defendant A&E liabilities; and 

Reductions in net premiums earned that were greater than the reductions in current period net incurred losses 
and LAE and acquisition costs, following our exit of our StarStone International business beginning in 2020.

Item 7 | Management Discussion and Analysis | Results of Operations by Segment | Run-off Segment

Table of Contents

2021 versus 2020: Net earnings from our Run-off segment increased by $74 million, primarily due to:

•

•

•

Net  premiums  earned  increased  by  $123  million  from  StarStone  International  business  and  new  business 
transactions  executed  in  recent  periods.  Net  premiums  earned  of  $182  million  included  $106  million  of 
premiums  from  StarStone  International,  which  was  transferred  into  the  Run-off  Segment  on  January  1,  2021, 
whereas net premiums earned in 2020 were primarily related to AmTrust RITC transactions assumed in 2019. 

Net incurred losses and LAE decreased by $49 million due to a $163 million increase in favorable PPD partially 
offset by an increase in current period losses of $114 million due to the transfer of the StarStone International 
business from the Legacy Underwriting segment on January 1, 2021. 

The $163 million increase in favorable PPD primarily consists of:

◦

◦

◦

◦

$51 million increase in favorable development on the workers’ compensation line of business in 2021 as a 
result of reduced claims activity, favorable settlements on open claims and the completion of commutations;

$105 million reduction in adverse development on the motor line of business compared to 2020. 2020 was 
impacted by higher than expected severity in respect of a recently assumed LPT;

$41 million increase in favorable development on the construction defect line of business in 2021; and

$82 million increase in favorable development on the property and other lines of business in 2021.

This favorable prior period developments were partially offset by; 

•

$142  million  increases  in  prior  period  estimates  of  net  ultimate  losses  in  our  general  casualty  line  of 
business due to an increase in opioid exposure and greater than expected adverse development.

In addition:

• Other income decreased by $59 million primarily driven by lower favorable prior period development related to 

our defendant A&E liabilities; and

•

Acquisition  costs  increased  by  $24  million  primarily  due  to  the  transfer  of  StarStone  International  from  the 
Legacy Underwriting segment on January 1, 2021.

Assumed Life Segment

On  September  1,  2021,  we  purchased  an  additional  27.7%  in  Enhanzed  Re,  a  company  that  was  previously 
accounted for as an equity method investment, and increased our ownership to 75.1%. We have consolidated it as 
of September 1, 2021 and record the results on a one quarter lag.

On December 31, 2022, we repurchased the remaining 24.9% in Enhanzed Re from Allianz12.

The  Assumed  Life  segment  consists  of  life  and  property  aggregate  excess  of  loss  (catastrophe)  business.  The 
catastrophe  business  was  not  renewed  for  2022.  During  the  third  quarter  of  2022,  we  entered  into  a  Master 
Agreement with Allianz through which we agreed to a series of transactions that will allow us to unwind Enhanzed 
Re in an orderly manner. For the year ended December 31, 2022 we have: 

•

•

Commuted the catastrophe reinsurance business with Allianz; and

Closed  an  agreement  in  November  2022  to  novate  our  reinsurance  closed  block  of  life  annuity  policies  to 
Monument Re. 

We expect to record the results of the novation of the life business and the acquisition of the remaining ownership 
interest in Enhanzed Re in the first quarter of 2023. 

Given our rationalization of the Enhanzed Re reinsurance business, we renamed the segment from Enhanzed Re to 
Assumed Life during the third quarter of 2022. We may leverage this segment for any future potential assumed life 
business transactions if and when they occur. 

The following is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations for our Assumed Life segment.

An increase in net premiums earned on the life reinsurance business and in-force catastrophe reinsurance 
treaties; partially offset by

An increase in policyholder benefit expenses.

13 We recognized a net gain on commutation of $59 million, of which $33 million related to the accelerated amortization of the risk margin fair 
value  adjustment  liability  originally  recorded  upon  acquisition  of  Enhanzed  Re’s  catastrophe  reinsurance  business,  and  is  included  in 
amortization of fair value adjustments in our Corporate and Other activities.

Overall Results

2022  versus  2021:  Net  loss  from  our  Investments  segment  was  $1.3  billion  compared  to  net  earnings  of  $485 
million in 2021. The unfavorable movement of $1.8 billion was primarily due to:

•

•

•

•

An increase in net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed income securities of $964 million, driven by rising 
interest rates and widening of investment grade credit spreads;

Net realized and unrealized losses on our other investments, including equities, of $433 million, in comparison 
to  gains  of  $327  million  in  2021.  The  unfavorable  variance  of  $760  million  was  primarily  driven  by  negative 
performance from our public equities, CLO equities and hedge funds as a result of significant volatility in global 
equity markets and widening high yield credit spreads; and 

Losses  from  equity  method  investments  of  $74  million,  in  comparison  to  earnings  of  $93  million  in  2021, 
primarily due to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment to the carrying value of one of our equity 
method investments and our acquisition of the controlling interest in Enhanzed Re, effective September 1, 2021. 
Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in earnings from equity method investments. Our 
consolidated  net  loss  from  Enhanzed  Re  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  was  $235  million  which 
compared to $82 million from Enhanzed Re that was included in equity method investment earnings in 2021; 
partially offset by 

An  increase  in  our  net  investment  income  of  $136  million,  which  is  primarily  due  to  the  investment  of  new 
premium and reinvestment of fixed income securities at higher yields and the impact of rising interest rates on 
the    $2.9  billion  of  our  fixed  income  securities  that  are  subject  to  floating  interest  rates.  Our  floating  rate

investments  generated  increased  net  investment  income  of  $59  million,  which  equates  to  an  increase  of  195  
basis points on those investments in comparison to 2021. 

Total investment losses on the fixed income securities that support our Enhanzed Re life reinsurance business for 
the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $304 million and $17 million, respectively.

2021 versus 2020: Net earnings from our Investments segment decreased by $1.6 billion primarily as a result of 
decreases in net realized and unrealized gains of $1.5 billion. The decrease is largely a result of 2021 net realized 
and unrealized losses of $58 million related to the InRe Fund, in comparison to net unrealized gains of $1.2 billion in 
2020, and 2021 net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed income securities of $207 million, in comparison to 
net realized and unrealized gains of $300 million in 2020.

Our equities decreased by $745 million and our other investments increased by $977 million compared to the prior 
year, primarily due to the redeployment from exchange-traded funds into various non-core asset strategies, in line 
with our strategic asset allocation. The balances of both equities and other investments were negatively impacted 
by net unrealized losses during the period.

(1) We own 31.9% of the common shares in HH CTCO Holdings Limited which in turn owns 15.4% of the convertible preferred shares, amounting 

to a 6.2% interest in the total equity of Citco III Limited ("Citco").

(2) We own 20.0% of the common shares in Monument Re as well as preferred shares which have a fixed dividend yield and whose balance is 

included in the investment amount.

Carrying Value

The carrying value of our equity method investments decreased from December 31, 2021 as a result of recognizing 
a  $52  million  other-than-temporary  impairment  in  one  of  our  equity  method  investments.  Unfavorable  cumulative 
translation adjustments of $16 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, relating primarily 
to our investment in Monument Re whose reporting currency is the Euro, further contributed to the decrease in the 
carrying value of our equity method investments for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Earnings (Losses) from Equity Method Investments

We recognized losses from equity method investments in 2022, in comparison to earnings in 2021, primarily due the 
other-than-temporary  impairment  charge  and  our  acquisition  of  the  controlling  interest  in  Enhanzed  Re,  effective 
September 1, 2021. Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in earnings from equity method 
investments. 

Our earnings from equity method investments decreased from 2020 to 2021, due to reductions in both Enhanzed 
Re  and  Monument  Re  earnings.  The  reduction  in  Enhanzed  Re  earnings  was  primarily  driven  by  catastrophe 
losses,  partially  offset  by  significant  investment  gains  in  the  last  quarter  of  2020.  The  reduction  in  Monument  Re 
earnings was as a result of a decrease in bargain purchase gains in 2021 in comparison to 2020.

Overall Results

The results for 2022 and 2021 comprise SGL No.1 Limited (“SGL No.1”)'s 25% gross share of the 2020 and prior 
underwriting years of Atrium's syndicate 609 whereas the results for 2020 comprise SGL No.1's 25% net share of 
Atrium's syndicate 609 and StarStone International, which was transferred to the Run-off segment effective January 
1, 2021.

From January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, SGL No.1 settled its share of the 2020 and prior underwriting years 
for the economic benefit of Atrium, and there was no net retention by Enstar. 

The  contractual  arrangements  between  SGL  No.  1, Arden  and Atrium  relating  to  the  remaining  net  loss  reserve 
liabilities, cash, investments and other assets that support the liabilities as of December 31, 2022 will settle in 2023. 
As a result, we do not expect to record any transactions in the Legacy Underwriting segment in 2023.

Overall Results

2022 versus 2021: Net loss from corporate and other activities decreased by $191 million, primarily due to: 

•

•

•

A change in net loss (earnings) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $90 million, as a result of net losses 
sustained in 2022 for those companies where there are noncontrolling interests; 

A favorable change in income tax benefit of $39 million, primarily driven by current year pre-tax losses reported 
in the US for which we are able to recognize a partial deferred tax asset; and

A reduction in net incurred losses of $159 million primarily driven by:

◦

◦

A $125 million favorable change in the fair value of liabilities relating to our assumed retroactive reinsurance 
agreements for which we have elected the fair value option due to increases in interest rates; and

A $34 million favorable change in the amortization of fair value adjustments, primarily driven by the release 
of fair value adjustment liabilities of $33 million following the commutation of the Enhanzed Re catastrophe 
reserves.

This was partially offset by: 

•

An absence of the prior year net gain on purchase and sales of subsidiaries of $73 million, as described below.

Table of Contents

2021 versus 2020: Net loss from corporate and other activities decreased by $223 million, primarily due to: 

•

•

A net gain recognized on the purchase and sales of subsidiaries of $73 million, which has two components: i) 
the  $47  million  gain  recognized  on  the  Step  Acquisition  of  Enhanzed  Re  and  ii)  the  net  gain  on  sales  of 
subsidiaries of $26 million, primarily as a result of the gain on the sale of SUL of $23 million; 

A reduction in net incurred losses of $206 million primarily driven by the change in the fair value of liabilities for 
which  we  have  elected  the  fair  value  option  due  to  increases  in  corporate  bond  yields,  partially  offset  by 
tightening  credit  spreads  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  in  comparison  to  declining  interest  rates 
partially offset by widening credit spreads for the year ended December 31, 2020. 

This was partially offset by: 

•

An unfavorable change in net (earnings) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest of $43 million, due to higher 
earnings in 2021 for those companies where there is a noncontrolling interest.

Current Outlook

Run-off Outlook

Transactions

On  February  16,  2023,  certain  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  entered  into  an  LPT  agreement  with  certain 
subsidiaries  of  QBE  Insurance  Group  Limited  (“QBE”)  relating  to  a  diversified  portfolio  of  business  underwritten 
between 2020 and 2018. The LPT agreement covers ground up net loss reserves of $1.9 billion and provides an 
additional $900 million of development coverage. Upon completion, a portion of the portfolio currently underwritten 
via QBE’s Lloyd’s syndicates 386 and 2999 will be transferred to Enstar’s Syndicate 2008.

On  February  21,  2023,  one  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  entered  into  an  agreement  with  RACQ  Insurance 
Limited  (“RACQ”)  to  reinsure  80%  of  RACQ’s  motor  vehicle  Compulsory  Third  Party  (“CTP”)  insurance  liabilities, 
covering accident years 2021 and prior. RACQ will cede net reserves of AUD$360 million (USD $243 million), and 
our subsidiary will provide AUD$200 million (USD $135 million) of additional cover in excess of the ceded reserves.

The closing of both transactions is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions. 

We  continue  to  evaluate  transactions  in  our  active  pipeline  including  LPTs,  ADCs,  and  other  transaction  types 
including  acquisitions.  We  seek  opportunities  to  execute  on  creative  and  accretive  transactions  by  offering 
innovative  capital  release  solutions  that  enable  our  clients  to  meet  their  capital  and  risk  management  objectives.  
Should we execute additional transactions, our mix of loss reserves by line of business, asset mix and both rate and 
timing of earnings may be impacted in the medium term.

We expect we will invest a significant portion of premium on new transactions in fixed income securities which will 
deliver accretive book yields at the current elevated rates.

Seasonality

We  complete  most  of  our  annual  loss  reserve  studies  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  each  year  and,  as  a  result,  tend  to 
record the largest movements, both favorable and adverse, to net incurred losses and LAE in this period. 

In  the  interim  periods  where  a  reserve  study  has  not  been  completed,  we  perform  quarterly  reviews  to  ascertain 
whether  changes  to  claims  paid  or  case  reserves  have  varied  from  our  expectations  developed  during  the  last 
annual  reserve  review.  In  this  event,  we  consider  the  timing  and  magnitude  of  the  actual  versus  expected 
development, and we may record an interim adjustment to our recorded reserves if, and when, warranted.

Enhanzed Re

On  November  7,  2022,  we  completed  the  novation  of  our  closed  block  of  life  business.  We  expect  to  recognize 
other income of $328 million, which we will record in the first quarter of 2023 as a result of the one quarter reporting 
lag with Enhanzed Re. 

The  amount  of  other  income  we  will  ultimately  recognize  will  include  the  gain  or  loss  on  novation,  activity  for  the 
period from October 1, 2022 to November 7, 2022 and the reclassification of amounts from AOCI, comprising the 
remeasurement  adjustment  to  our  future  policyholder  benefit  liabilities  upon  adoption  of  the  LDTI  standard  on 
January 1, 2023. 

Our net earnings attributable to Enstar will be reduced by the amount attributable to Allianz’s 24.9% noncontrolling 
interest in Enhanzed Re at the time of the transaction and a portion of our other income recorded will be subject to 
deferral  over  the  expected  settlement  period  for  the  life  annuity  policies  to  account  for  our  pre-existing  20% 
ownership interest in Monument Re.

Investment Outlook

We  expect  global  financial  markets  to  remain  uncertain  into  2023  as  a  result  of  a  potential  economic  recession, 
continued inflationary pressures, notably from the increased cost of services and a tight labor market with resultant 
tightening of financial conditions by global central banks, and continued geopolitical conflicts and tensions.

In  2022,  we  recognized  significant  unrealized  losses  on  our  fixed  income  securities,  a  trend  that  could  continue, 
albeit with a likely less severe impact, in the event that interest rates continue to rise and/or credit spreads widen.  If 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

83

 
 
 
Item 7 | Management Discussion and Analysis | Current Outlook

Table of Contents

we renew credit facilities in the current environment, we would likely incur a higher rate of borrowing and interest 
costs as a result.

We expect that unrealized losses on our fixed income securities will be recouped as these assets get closer to their 
maturity and the prices pull to par. We may undertake tactical repositioning of our portfolio as opportunities arise to 
achieve a better result, rather than waiting for certain fixed income securities to pull to par value.  

Elevated interest rates can represent an opportunity for us in the medium to long term, notably;   

• We hold approximately 15% of our portfolio in individual fixed income securities that have floating interest rates 
which, should interest rates remain elevated, we expect to be accretive to future investment income book yields. 
We have earned $155 million of net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2022 from our floating 
rate investments, which are generally indexed to LIBOR.   

•

Higher interest rates have provided us with the opportunity to reinvest at higher yields as our securities mature 
or as we invest premium received from new business.

Global equity markets are expected to remain cautious in 2023, and this, combined with our reporting lag on certain 
investments, will impact the valuation of our non-core risk investments. We invest in public equity, private equity and 
alternatives (including hedge fund investments), which may vary in the magnitude of their exposure to any potential 
economic recession.

Anticipations of an economic downturn, including lower earnings and lower equity multiples on equities in 2023, may 
further negatively impact our non-core investments but may also impact expectations of future interest rates with the 
resulting impact to our fixed income securities. 

Despite  these  challenges,  we  remain  committed  to  our  strategic  asset  allocation  and  expect  our  non-core 
investments to provide attractive risk adjusted returns and diversification benefits over the medium to long term. 

We  expect  to  continue  to  benefit  from  our  allocation  to  investments  with  inflationary  pass-through  components, 
including investments in private equity, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure asset classes and will continue 
to seek other attractive investment opportunities throughout 2023. 

Inflation

We continue to monitor the inflationary impacts resulting from pandemic-related government stimulus and labor 
force supply pressures on our loss cost trends. 

Our  Run-off  net  loss  reserves  primarily  consist  of  general  casualty,  workers’  compensation  and  asbestos  lines  of 
business  which,  as  long  tailed  lines  of  business,  have  not  been  significantly  impacted  by  ongoing  inflationary 
pressures in comparison to other lines of business, such as property and auto lines. 

The currently observed and limited impact of economic inflation on our loss cost trends reflects a combination of the 
opportunity we have to re-price seasoned books of business and our claims management model that seeks to settle 
claims in an efficient and responsive manner to protect and mitigate the impact to us from adverse outcomes. 

While  we  do  not  currently  see  any  new  trends  in  the  longer  term  trend  of  social  inflation  on  certain  claims,  we 
continue  to  monitor  claims  in  difficult  legislative  districts,  seek  to  actively  settle  claims  and  monitor  for  reserving 
adequacy.

Global economic policy responses to inflation have led to increases in interest rates, which, in the short term, have 
had  a  significant  impact  on  our  investments,  in  particular  our  fixed  income  securities. Any  further  rise  in  interest 
rates will have further negative impacts on our fixed income securities. 

There remains uncertainty around the pace and direction of inflation, and it is unlikely that a pause in rate increases, 
or even a cut in rates, will occur until late 2023 or even 2024. We continue to monitor liquidity, capital and potential 
earnings impact of these changes but remain focused on medium to long term asset allocation decisions.

Inflation, tight labor conditions and higher service costs continue to put pressure on wages and prices, which could 
impact  our  underlying  our  general  and  administrative  expenses  as  we  remain  focused  on  being  a  competitive 
employer in our market.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting impact on global commodity markets has increased commodity 
inflation  rates,  disrupted  supply  chains  and  generated  significant  insurance  losses.    In  response,  many  countries 
have established comprehensive sanctions regimes increasing both geopolitical tension between NATO and Russia 
and market volatility. 

To  quantify  our  exposure,  we  have  performed  an  analysis  of,  and  continue  to  monitor,  our  direct  investment  and 
underwriting risks, our acquisition pipeline and  the potential for operational disruption (including disruption via our 
third party service providers).  We have concluded that we have no significant direct impacts from this event. We 
continue  to  monitor  for,  and  respond  to,  all  changes  in  the  global  sanctions  regime,  updating  our  procedures 
accordingly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our business requirements for the next 12 
months and thereafter. We aim to generate cash flows from our (re)insurance operations and investments, preserve 
sufficient  capital  for  future  acquisitions  and  new  business,  and  develop  relationships  with  lenders  who  provide 
borrowing capacity at competitive rates.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources Highlights

Sources of Cash During 2022:

• We received cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents from new business of $140 million; 

• We issued Junior Subordinated notes due 2042 of $500 million; and

•

In the fourth quarter, we borrowed and fully repaid $55 million of loans under our revolving credit facility.

Uses of Cash During 2022:

• We repurchased 697,580 of our outstanding ordinary shares for an aggregate price of $163 million;

• We  repaid  Senior  Notes  due  2022  and  the  Enhanzed  Re  Subordinated  notes  due  2031  with  aggregate 

principal balances totaling $350 million;

• We paid $55 million of dividends to our noncontrolling interest holders; and

• We paid $36 million of cash dividends on our Series D and E Preferred Shares.

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  had  $822  million  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  excluding  restricted  cash,  that 
supports (re)insurance operations. Included in this amount was $340 million held by our foreign subsidiaries outside 
of Bermuda. 

The  decrease  in  total  capitalization  was  due  to  the  increase  in  realized  and  unrealized  investment  losses  of  $2.2 
billion  in  2022.  On  a  statutory  basis,  which  excludes  the  impact  of  unrealized  investment  losses  and  includes

discounts  for  loss  reserves,  our  economic  balance  sheet  strengthened  during  the  year  primarily  due  to  higher 
interest rates.

Under the eligible capital rules of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”), the Preferred Shares qualify as Tier 2 
capital when considering the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirements (“BSCR”). 

For  purposes  of  the  financial  covenants  in  our  credit  facilities,  total  debt  excludes  hybrid  capital  (defined  as  our 
Subordinated Notes) not exceeding 15% of total capital attributable to Enstar. As of December 31, 2022, we were in 
compliance with the financial covenants in our credit facilities. 
Liquidity and Capital Resources of Holding Company and Subsidiaries

Holding Company Liquidity

We conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiaries. As such, the potential sources of liquidity to 
Enstar as a holding company consist of cashflows from our subsidiaries including dividends, advances and loans, 
and  interest  income  on  loans  to  our  subsidiaries.  We  also  utilize  credit  loan  facilities,  and  we  have  issued  senior 
notes and preferred shares and guaranteed our Junior Subordinated Notes. 

As of December 31, 2022, we had $600 million of available unutilized capacity under our unsecured revolving credit 
agreement,  which  expires  in  August  2023,  and  may  request  additional  commitments  under  the  facility  up  to  an 
additional $400 million. To date, we have not requested any additional commitments under the facility. 

We  use  cash  to  fund  new  acquisitions  of  companies.  We  also  utilize  cash  for  our  operating  expenses  associated 
with being a public company and to pay dividends on our preferred shares and interest and principal on loans from 
subsidiaries  and  debt  obligations,  including  loans  under  our  credit  facilities,  our  Senior  Notes  and  our  Junior 
Subordinated Notes. 

We  may,  from  time  to  time,  raise  capital  from  the  issuance  of  equity,  debt  or  other  securities  as  we  continuously 
evaluate our strategic opportunities. We filed an automatic shelf registration statement in August 2020 with the SEC 
to allow us to conduct future offerings of certain securities, if desired, including debt, equity and other securities. 

As  we  are  a  holding  company  and  have  no  substantial  operations  of  our  own,  our  assets  consist  primarily  of 
investments  in  subsidiaries  and  our  loans  and  advances  to  subsidiaries.  Dividends  from  our  (re)insurance 
subsidiaries  are  restricted  by  (re)insurance  laws  and  regulations,  as  described  below.  The  ability  of  all  of  our 
subsidiaries  to  make  distributions  and  transfers  to  us  may  also  be  restricted  by,  among  other  things,  other 
applicable  laws  and  regulations  and  the  terms  of  our  credit  facilities  and  our  subsidiaries'  bank  loans  and  other 
issued debt instruments.

Based on our group's current corporate structure with a Bermuda domiciled parent company and the jurisdictions in 
which we operate, if the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries were to be distributed to us, as 
dividends  or  otherwise,  such  amount  would  not  be  subject  to  incremental  income  taxes;  however,  in  certain 
circumstances withholding taxes may be imposed by some jurisdictions, including by the United States. 

Based on existing tax laws, regulations and our current intentions, there were no accruals as of December 31, 2022 
for any material withholding taxes on dividends or other distributions. 

U.S. Finance Company Liquidity

Enstar Finance is a wholly-owned finance subsidiary under which we have issued our Junior Subordinated Notes. 
Similar  to  our  holding  company,  Enstar  Finance  is  dependent  upon  funds  from  other  subsidiaries  to  pay  any 
amounts due under the Junior Subordinated Notes in the form of distributions or loans, which may be restricted by, 
among other things, other applicable laws and regulations and the terms of our credit facilities and our subsidiaries’ 
bank loans and other issued debt instruments.

Operating Company Liquidity

We expect that our operating companies will generate sufficient liquidity, together with our existing capital base and 
cash and investments acquired and from new business, to meet cash requirements and to operate our business.

Sources  of  funds  to  our  operating  companies  primarily  consist  of  cash  and  investment  portfolios  acquired  on  the 
completion  of  acquisitions  and  new  business,  investment  income  earned,  proceeds  from  sales  and  maturities  of 
investments  and  collection  of  reinsurance  recoverables.  We  also  collect  premiums  and  fees  and  commission 
income.

Table of Contents

Cash balances acquired upon the purchase of (re)insurance companies are classified as cash provided by investing 
activities, whereas cash from new business is classified as cash provided by operating activities.  

The  primary  uses  of  funds  by  our  operating  companies  are  claims  payments,  investment  purchases,  operating 
expenses and collateral requirements.

The  ability  of  our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  to  pay  dividends  and  make  other  distributions  is  limited  by  the 
applicable  laws  and  regulations  of  the  jurisdictions  in  which  our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  operate,  including 
Bermuda,  the  United  Kingdom,  the  United  States,  Australia  and  Continental  Europe,  which  subject  these 
subsidiaries to significant regulatory restrictions. 

These  laws  and  regulations  require,  among  other  things,  certain  of  our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  to  maintain 
minimum  capital  requirements  and  limit  the  amount  of  dividends  and  other  payments  that  these  subsidiaries  can 
pay to us, which in turn may limit our ability to pay dividends and make other payments. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  all  of  our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries’  capital  requirement  levels  were  in  excess  of  the 
minimum levels required. 

Our  subsidiaries'  ability  to  pay  dividends  and  make  other  forms  of  distributions  may  also  be  limited  by  our 
repayment  obligations  under  certain  of  our  outstanding  credit  facility  agreements  and  other  debt  instruments. 
Variability  in  ultimate  loss  payments  and  collateral  amounts  required  may  also  result  in  increased  liquidity 
requirements for our subsidiaries. 
Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $762 million in 2022, which was largely due to cash used in investing and 
financing  activities  of  $919  million  and  $116  million,  respectively,  partially  offset  by  cash  provided  by  operating 
activities of $257 million. 

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $495 million in 2021, which was largely due to cash provided by operating 
activities  of  $3.8  billion,  partially  offset  by  cash  used  in  investing  and  financing  activities  of  $2.6  billion  and  $737 
million, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $541 million in 2021, which was largely due to cash provided by operating 
and  financing  activities  of  $2.8  billion  and  $118  million,  respectively,  partially  offset  by  cash  used  in  investing 
activities of $2.3 billion.

Analysis of Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Cash Flow Activities

2022 vs 2021: the $3.5 billion decrease in cash provided by operating activities was driven by a decrease in the net 
sales and maturities of trading securities of $2.1 billion, which was primarily driven by the deployment of the InRe 
funds, liquidated in 2021, into other investments in line with our asset allocation strategy. The decrease was further 
driven  by  a  reduction  in  cash  provided  from  acquisitions  of  new  business  of  $1.9  billion,  as  a  result  of  receiving 
increased non-cash consideration in 2022, including $1.9 billion of funds held by reinsured companies in relation to 
the Aspen LPT and $520 million of fixed income securities, AFS, in relation to the Argo LPT, in comparison to 2021. 
The  decrease  was  partially  offset  by  increases  of  $641  million  from  other  sources  and  $59  million  from  net 
investment income received.

2021  vs  2020:  the  $1.0  billion  increase  in  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  was  driven  by  an  increase  in  the 
cash  inflows  from  net  sales  and  maturities  of  trading  securities  of  $1.5  billion,  which  was  primarily  driven  by  the 
liquidation of the InRe Fund, a $457 million increase in cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents from assuming 
new business, and a $31 million increase in net investment income received. This was partially offset by decreases 
of $985 million from other sources.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

2022  vs  2021:  the  $1.7  billion  decrease  in  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was  primarily  due  to  net  sales  and 
maturities of fixed income securities, AFS of $207 million in 2022, in comparison to net purchases of $2.1 billion in 
2021,  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  purchases  of  other  investments,  primarily  driven  by  the  deployment  of  the 
InRe funds, of $552 million.

2021  vs  2020:  the  $238  million  increase  in  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was  driven  by  an  increase  in  the  net 
purchases of fixed income securities, AFS of $227 million and an increase in net purchases of other investments of 
$200  million,  partially  offset  by  the  impact  of  consolidating  the  opening  cash  and  restricted  cash  balances  of  the 
InRe Fund of $574 million, in 2021.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

2022 vs 2021: the $621 million decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by the decrease in 
share  repurchases  of  $779  million,  as  our  2021  share  repurchases  were  driven  by  strategic  repurchases  as 
described below, in addition to a decrease in the net proceeds from loans of $104 million.

2021  vs  2020:  cash  used  in  financing  activities  was  $737  million  in  2021,  in  comparison  to  cash  provided  by 
financing  activities  of  $118  million  in  2020.  This  was  primarily  due  to  $942  million  of  share  repurchases  in  2021, 
including  $879  million  attributable  to  the  repurchase  of  Hillhouse  Group’s  entire  interest  in  Enstar,  offsetting  an 
increase in the net proceeds from loans of $62 million.

Debt Obligations

We  utilize  debt  financing  and  loan  facilities  primarily  for  funding  acquisitions  and  significant  new  business, 
investment activities and, from time to time, for general corporate purposes.

Our debt obligations increased by $138 million from December 31, 2021, primarily due to the issuance of our 2042 
Junior Subordinated Notes. This was partially offset by the repayment upon maturity of our 2022 Senior Notes using 
proceeds from the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes and the repayment of Enhanzed Re’s 2031 Subordinated Notes 
in accordance with our strategic wind-down of Enhanzed Re’s operations.

Under  the  eligible  capital  rules  of  the  Bermuda  Monetary  Authority  (“BMA”),  the  Senior  Notes  qualify  as  Tier  3 
capital and the Junior Subordinated Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital when considering the Bermuda Solvency Capital 
Requirements (“BSCR”).

(1)  The reserves for losses and LAE represent management’s estimate of the ultimate cost of settling losses. The estimation of losses is based on 
various  complex  and  subjective  judgments. Actual  losses  paid  may  differ,  perhaps  significantly,  from  the  reserve  estimates  reflected  in  our 
consolidated financial statements. Similarly, the timing of payment of our estimated losses is not fixed and there may be significant changes in 
actual  payment  activity. The  assumptions  used  in  estimating  the  likely  payments  due  by  period  are  based  on  our  historical  claims  payment 
experience and industry payment patterns, but due to the inherent uncertainty in the process of estimating the timing of such payments, there 
is a risk that the amounts paid in any such period can be significantly different from the amounts disclosed above. The amounts in the above 
table  represent  our  estimates  of  known  liabilities  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  do  not  take  into  account  corresponding  reinsurance 
recoverable  amounts  that  would  be  due  to  us.  Furthermore,  certain  of  the  reserves  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  as  of 
December 31, 2022 were acquired by us and initially recorded at fair value with subsequent amortization, whereas the expected payments by 
period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect the fair value adjustment in the amount payable.

Reserves for Losses and LAE

We generally attempt to match the duration of our investment portfolio to the duration of our general liability profile. 
We  generally  seek  to  maintain  investment  portfolios  that  are  shorter  or  of  equivalent  duration  to  the  liabilities  in 
order to provide liquidity for the settlement of losses and, where possible, to avoid having to liquidate longer-dated 
investments.  The  settlement  of  liabilities  also  has  the  potential  to  accelerate  the  natural  payout  of  losses  and 
policyholder benefits, which may require additional liquidity. As of as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the weighted 
average durations of our Run-off segment gross reserves for losses and LAE were 4.65 and 6.18, respectively. The 
decrease from 2021 was driven by shorter average payouts from new acquisitions and an increase in yield curves 
during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Future Policyholder Benefits

In  November  2022,  Enhanzed  Re  completed  a  novation  of  the  reinsurance  closed  block  of  life  annuity  policies  to 
Monument Re. We settled the life liabilities and the related assets at carrying value in return for cash consideration, 
and expect to record a gain on novation in our first quarter 2023 results as a result of the one quarter reporting lag15. 
Given the novation, we did not include the expected payments of the liability in the table above.  

Debt Obligations

The amounts presented in this table represent Enstar’s total debt obligations. Refer to the ‘Debt Obligations’ section 
above for further details. 

RNCI

In  addition  to  the  contractual  obligations  noted  in  the  table  above,  we  have  the  right  to  purchase  the  redeemable 
non-controlling  interest  (“RNCI”)  related  to  StarStone  International  from  the  Trident  V  Funds  and  Dowling  Capital 
Partners I, L.P. and Capital City Partners LLC (collectively, the “Dowling Funds”) after March 31, 2023 (a "call right") 
and the RNCI holders have the right to sell their RNCI interests to us after December 31, 2022 (a "put right"). 
Share Repurchases and Dividends

Our strategy is to retain earnings and invest distributions from our operating subsidiaries into our business. We may 
choose  to  return  value  to  shareholders  in  the  form  of  share  repurchases  or  dividends.  For  details  on  our  share 
repurchase programs, refer to Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements. To date, we have not declared any 
dividends  on  our  ordinary  shares.  We  may  re-evaluate  this  strategy  from  time  to  time  based  on  overall  market 
conditions and other factors.

We have 16,000 Series D Preferred Shares with an aggregate liquidation value of $400 million and 4,400 Series E 
Preferred  Shares  with  an  aggregate  liquidation  value  of  $110  million.  The  dividends  on  both  Series  of  Preferred 
Shares are non-cumulative and may be paid quarterly in arrears, only when, as and if declared. 

Any  payment  of  common  or  preferred  dividends  must  be  approved  by  our  Board.  Our  ability  to  pay  ordinary  and 
preferred dividends is subject to certain restrictions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  have  entered  into  certain  investment  commitments  and  parental  guarantees16.  We 
also  utilize  unsecured  and  secured  letters  of  credit17  (“LOCs”)  and  a  deposit  facility.  We  do  not  believe  it  is 
reasonably  likely  that  these  arrangements  will  have  a  material  current  or  future  effect  on  our  financial  condition, 
changes in financial condition, revenues and expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital 
resources.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Estimates

We  believe  the  following  accounting  policies  are  most  dependent  on  significant  judgments  and  estimates  used  in 
the preparation of our financial statements.
Losses and LAE

Run-off

Losses and LAE liabilities represent our best estimate of the ultimate remaining liability for unpaid losses and LAE 
for incurred claims as of the balance sheet date.  This includes provisions for claims that have been reported but are 
unpaid  at  the  balance  sheet  date  (Outstanding  Loss  Reserves,  or  "OLR")  and  for  obligations  on  claims  that  have 
been incurred but not reported ("IBNR") at the balance sheet date. IBNR may also include provisions to account for 
the possibility that reported claims may settle for amounts that differ from the established case reserves as well as 
the potential for closed claims to re-open.  

Establishing loss reserves can be complex and is subject to considerable uncertainty.  Because a significant amount 
of time can lapse between our assumption of the risk, the occurrence of a loss event, the reporting of the event to 
us and the ultimate payment of the claim on the loss event, the liability for unpaid losses and LAE is based largely 
upon estimates. Certain types of exposure, typically latent health exposures such as asbestos-related claims, have 
inherently long reporting delays, in some cases many years, from the date a loss occurred to the manifestation and 
reporting  of  a  claim  and  ultimately  until  the  final  settlement  of  the  claim,  and  that  could  impact  the  amount  of 
reliance we place on our actual historical data.  

We  use  considerable  judgment  in  the  process  of  developing  these  estimates  of  loss  reserves,  which  involves 
uncertainty  in  several  areas,  including  use  of  actual  or  industry  data  for  model  inputs,  and  various  projection 
assumptions and judgements depending on product lines, coverage type, or policy year. We may record additional 
estimates based upon our judgement as to the applicability of the facts, circumstances and external environment to 
each portfolio.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, IBNR reserves (net of reinsurance balances recoverable) accounted for $6.1 
billion, or 51.3%, and $6.8 billion, or 59.4%, respectively, of our total Run-off net losses and LAE reserves, excluding 
ULAE18. 

Our estimate of loss reserves for each portfolio generally relies on the following key judgments:

•

•

The degree of reliance upon historic actual claims trends or industry data for claims trends.

Separation of each portfolio into homogenous data sets, generally by line of business, or reserving class.

• Methods used in analyzing and projecting potential reserve positions and the mix of methods selected to form 

an aggregate reserve position for each portfolio19. 

• Our degree of reliance or adjustment as a result of external factors such as economic conditions (inflation and 
unemployment  statistics),  legal  conditions  (judicial  rulings  in  each  relevant  jurisdiction)  and  social  & 
environmental factors (medical cost trends, changes in regulations or public health).

•

Consideration  of  additional  information  such  as  changes  in  claims  handling  activities,  third  party  claims 
operating reviews, third party actuarial reviews or changes in our reinsurance programs.  

Judgments  are  based  on  numerous  factors  and  may  be  revised  as  additional  data  becomes  available,  as  new  or 
improved methods are developed, or as laws change.  This means that ultimate loss payments may differ from the 
losses and LAE estimate made at the balance sheet date.  

In addition, key assumptions are made within each method, although the sensitivity to each assumption may vary 
within  each  method  and  even  within  each  reserving  class  and  accident  year  of  each  method.    Such  assumptions 
would include:

•

Loss development factors are used to extrapolate current losses on an accident year to our full expected losses 
based upon judgements of historical trends on earlier accident years.

Tail factors further extrapolate our longer tailed lines where payments expected in later years or decades can be 
more  uncertain  than  settlements  that  preceded  them  both  in  the  timing  and  amount  of  cash  flows.   As  such, 
lines with more expected payments in the tail are more sensitive to tail assumptions. 

Expected loss ratios are used for years where we do not yet have credible experience.

Loss cost trend factors are used to extrapolate future loss expectations based upon observed trends.

We  perform,  at  least  annually,  a  formal  review  process  of  each  portfolio  of  reserves  in  accordance  with Actuarial 
Standards of Practice.  These reviews may be performed using internal or independent credentialed actuaries.

In addition, we project expected paid and incurred loss development for each class of business, which is monitored 
on  a  quarterly  basis.  Should  actual  paid  and  incurred  development  differ  significantly  from  the  expected  paid  and 
incurred  development,  we  will  investigate  the  cause  and,  in  conjunction  with  our  actuaries,  consider  whether  any 
adjustment to total loss reserves is required.

Adjustments  resulting  from  changes  in  our  estimates  are  recorded  in  the  period  when  such  adjustments  are 
determined. The ultimate liability for losses and LAE is likely to differ from the original estimate due to a number of 
factors,  primarily  consisting  of  the  overall  claims  activity  occurring  during  any  period,  including  the  completion  of 
commutations  of  assumed  liabilities  and  ceded  reinsurance  receivables,  policy  buy-backs  and  general  incurred 
claims activity.

Loss Reserving (Latent Claims)

Sensitivity to Underlying Assumptions of our Actuarial Methods

While  we  believe  our  reserve  for  losses  and  LAE  at  December  31,  2022  is  reasonable,  the  estimation  of  these 
reserves is a complex process that depends on a number of factors and assumptions.  As noted previously, our best 
estimate of our loss reserves involves considerable judgement, considering the results from a number of reserving 
methodologies.  Therefore, these estimates are susceptible to changes in assumptions.  We consider each of the 
following sensitivities a reasonable deviation for the key assumptions for each of our significant lines of business.

Asbestos  –  Reserve  estimates  for  this  line  are  subject  to  greater  variability  than  reserves  for  more  traditional 
exposures.  Claims  are  spread  across  multiple  policy  years  based  on  the  still  evolving  case  law  in  various 
jurisdictions  and  inconsistent  court  decisions  and  judicial  interpretations,  making  historical  development  patterns 
unreliable to forecast the future claim payments.  A key consideration in setting our asbestos reserves is the volume 
of future claim filings, and the average indemnity of those claims.

General  Casualty  – This  is  a  long  tail  class  of  business  with  long  reporting  and  paid  developing  factors,  and  we 
generally use a combination of reserving methodologies on this line.  Because of the long tail nature, the reserves 
are  susceptible  to  variation  in  loss  development  factors  and  loss  cost  trends  that  may  develop  over  an  extended 
period  of  time  over  multiple  accident  years.  A  key  assumption  in  setting  our  general  casualty  reserves  is  the 
provision for claim payments in the tail. 

Workers’ Compensation – We generally use a combination of loss development and expected loss ratio methods 
due to the long tail nature of this line.  A portion of our workers’ compensation reserves cover medical expense for 
future treatments of injured workers. Given the long development patterns associated with workers’ compensation 
business, these claims are exposed to medical inflation.

Professional Indemnity/Directors and Officers – Due to the nature of this line, there is increased uncertainty in 
the number and severity of claims, which results in an expectation of high volatility and uncertainty in loss trends. 

Motor - This business is generally more short tail in nature, and the majority of the claims are resolved within a few 
years of occurrence.  A key component in estimating motor reserves is the severity of claims.

Asbestos Claims

A number of our subsidiaries, and counterparties who underwrote the insurance policy portfolios we assumed, have 
exposure to bodily injury claims from alleged exposure to asbestos. 

•

The United States asbestos exposure arises mainly from general liability insurance policies underwritten prior to 
1986,  which  our  subsidiaries  or  counterparties  either  wrote  directly,  on  a  primary  or  excess  basis,  or  as 
reinsurance. 

• Our United Kingdom asbestos exposures emanate from Employers' Liability insurance policies written in 2005 

and prior. 

Asbestos bodily injury claims differ from other bodily injury claims due to the long latency period for asbestos, which 
often  triggers  a  policyholder’s  coverage  over  multiple  policy  periods.  The  long  latency  period,  combined  with  the 
lack of clear judicial precedent with respect to coverage interpretations and expanded theories of liability, increases 
the uncertainty of the asbestos claim reserve estimates.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the net loss reserves for asbestos-related claims comprised 13.6% and 16.7%, 
respectively, of total Run-off net reserves for losses and LAE liabilities excluding ULAE. In addition as of December 
31, 2022 and 2021, we also had $786 million and $826 million of defendant asbestos liabilities, respectively20 . 
Environmental Claims

Our subsidiaries and counterparties who underwrote the insurance policy portfolios we assumed have exposure to 
environmental  claims  from  general  liability  insurance  policies  written  prior  to  the  mid-1980s,  that  were  not 
specifically  written  to  cover  damage  to  the  environment  from  gradual  releases  of  pollutants.  Similar  to  asbestos, 
there  is  additional  uncertainty  with  respect  to  environmental  reserves  as  compared  to  other  general  liability 
exposures.  This  added  uncertainty  is  due  to  the  multiple  policy  periods  and  allocation  of  claims  to  policy  years, 
number of solvent potentially responsible parties at any site, ultimate cost of the remediation, the number of ultimate 
sites and changes to judicial precedence.

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the  net  loss  reserves  for  environmental  pollution-related  claims  comprised 
2.8% and 3.2%, respectively, of total Run-off net reserves for losses and LAE excluding ULAE. In addition, we also 
have  $10  million  and  $11  million  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  respectively,  of  direct  environmental 
liabilities21.
Asbestos and Environmental Reserving

The  ultimate  losses  from  A&E  claims  cannot  be  estimated  using  traditional  actuarial  reserving  methods  that 
extrapolate  losses  to  an  ultimate  basis  using  loss  development,  and  therefore  we  use  alternative  projection 
methods.  Claims are spread across multiple policy years based on the still evolving case law in each jurisdiction, 
making  historical  development  patterns  unreliable  to  forecast  the  future  claim  payments.  Our  estimate  of  loss 
reserves for A&E claims relies on the following key factors and judgements:

•

•

The degree of reliance or adjustment based on the legal and social environment, to which these liabilities are 
particularly sensitive.  The current legal environment and the impact of specific settlements that may be used as 
precedents to settle future claims are key with these types of claims.

The degree of reliance upon actual claims data and trends or industry data for claims trends.

• Methods used in analyzing and projecting potential reserve positions and the mix of methods selected to form 

an aggregate reserve position for each portfolio22. 

Judgements are based on numerous factors and may be revised as additional data becomes available, as new or 
improved methods are developed, or as laws change.  This means that ultimate loss payments may differ from the 
losses and LAE estimate made at the balance sheet date.

Key assumptions are made within each method, although the sensitivity to each assumption may vary within each 
method  and  even  within  each  reserving  class  and  accident  year  of  each  method.  When  the  asbestos  exposure 
analysis (frequency and severity) method is applied, such assumptions would include:

•

•

Trends with respect to average claim indemnity, which are used to extrapolate future claim costs.

Trends in claim filing patterns, which will be used to estimate the number of future claims. 

We  also  use  a  combination  of  additional  actuarial  methods,  including  the  paid  survival  ratio,  paid  market  share, 
decay factor, and other methods to periodically reevaluate the continued reasonableness of recorded loss reserves.

Change in Reserve Assumptions

Changes  in  reserve  estimates  can  be  driven  by  updated  experience  and  by  changes  in  assumptions.  These  are 
linked  as  updated  information  leads  to  changes  in  assumptions.  We  have  estimated  what  portion  of  changes  in 
ultimate losses from acquisition years 2013 to 2022 are attributable to experience and what portion are attributable 
to assumptions.

Defendant A&E liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets include amounts for indemnity and defense costs for 
pending  and  future  claims,  determined  using  standard  actuarial  techniques  for  asbestos-related  exposures. 
Defendant A&E  liabilities  also  include  amounts  for  environmental  liabilities  associated  with  our  properties.   These 
are non-insurance liabilities since they are held by non-insurance subsidiaries and are presented separately on our 
consolidated  balance  sheets.    These  reserves  will  be  sensitive  to  similar  industry  trends  and  assumptions  as 
observed in our A&E reserves as described under the Loss and LAE section above, specifically claim trends and 
indemnity.  However, we use utilize different methodologies to estimate the defendant A&E liabilities as compared to 
our loss reserves23.

Key drivers for this estimate are the amount of future claim filings and average indemnity,  which are key indicators 
of the amount of liabilities.  The table below provides sensitivities of these drivers for defendant A&E.

Valuation Allowances on Deferred Tax Assets

At each balance sheet date, we assess the need to establish a valuation allowance that reduces deferred tax assets 
(including  those  generated  from  operations  as  well  as  those  acquired  in  business  combinations)  when  it  is  more 
likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

The determination of the need for a valuation allowance is based on all available information including 

•

•

•

projections of future taxable income; 

our  forecast  of  future  taxable  income  considers  several  factors,  including  actual  net  earnings  in  recent  years, 
future sustainability and likelihood of positive earnings; and

tax planning strategies. 

Projections of future taxable income incorporate assumptions of future business and operations that may differ from 
actual experience. 

If  our  assumptions  and  estimates  that  resulted  in  our  forecast  of  future  taxable  income  prove  to  be  incorrect,  an 
additional valuation allowance could become necessary, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial 
condition. 

From 2021 to 2022, we had an increase in our valuation allowance of $52 million, driven mostly by increase in our 
DTA  associated  with  unrealized  investment  losses  and  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  in  the  U.S.  and  U.K. 
jurisdictions as we do not make a hold to recovery assertion on unrealized losses. In assessing the recoverability of 
the  DTA,  we  consider  forecasts  of  future  income  for  our  U.S.  business  using  assumptions  about  future 
macroeconomic  and  company  specific  conditions  and  events.    While  our  forecasts  of  future  taxable  income  have 
remained consistent, these forecasts are judgmental and involve a level of uncertainty, such that a 10% decrease to 
forecasted future income could increase the valuation allowance by up to 8% or $15 million25.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Level 3 Investments

We measure fair value using a standard hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. The 
hierarchy  gives  the  highest  priority  to  unadjusted  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities 
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Level 3 fair value measurements are based on unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity. We 
utilize  unadjusted  third  party  pricing  sources  and  internal  valuation  models  to  determine  these  fair  values.    Our 
assessment of the significance of these unobservable inputs to the fair value measurement requires judgement.

Our  Level  3  investments  consist  primarily  of  privately  held  equity  securities,  and  we  value  these  securities  using 
observable and unobservable inputs. While the observable inputs are based on readily available market data, the 
unobservable inputs involve increased uncertainty and judgement in their selection and application. Key drivers of 
the valuation are the peer multiple and the expected term (in years). The peer multiple is calculated from a group of 
peer companies and that multiple is then applied to the invested company as a key input to calculate the value. The 
expected term is used in the option pricing model as a key input to calculate the value of the privately held equity 
securities. The option pricing model is only used for one investment which has a more complex securities structure 
that  includes  different  liquidation  preferences  for  each  security  class.  We  consider  the  following  sensitivity  a 
reasonable deviation for this key input:

Fair Value Option - Insurance Contracts

We have elected to apply the fair value option for certain LPT reinsurance transactions that originated in 2017 and 
2018. This is an irrevocable election that applies to all balances under the insurance contract, including reinsurance 
recoverable and the liability for losses and LAE.

The  fair  value  of  the  liability  for  losses  and  LAE  and  reinsurance  recoverable  under  these  contracts  is  presented 
separately in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Changes in the fair value of the 
liability  for  losses  and  LAE  and  reinsurance  balances  recoverable  on  paid  and  unpaid  losses  are  included  in  net 
incurred losses and LAE in our consolidated statement of operations. 

We use an internal model to calculate the fair value of the liability for losses and LAE and reinsurance recoverable 
asset for certain retroactive reinsurance contracts where we have elected the fair value option. 

The fair value is calculated as the aggregate of discounted cash flows plus a risk margin.

The discounted cash flow approach uses: 

i.

estimated  nominal  cash  flows  based  upon  an  appropriate  payment  pattern  developed  in  accordance  with 
actuarial methods and 

ii. a discount rate based upon high quality rated corporate bond yields plus a credit spread for non-performance 
risk.  The  model  uses  corporate  bond  rates  across  the  yield  curve  depending  on  the  estimated  timing  of  the 
future cash flows and specific to the currency of the risk. 

The risk margin was calculated using the present value of the cost of capital. The cost of capital approach uses 

i.

projected capital requirements, 

ii. multiplied  by  the  risk  cost  of  capital  representing  the  return  required  for  non-hedgeable  risk  based  upon  the 

weighted average cost of capital less investment income, and 

iii. discounted using the weighted average cost of capital. 

The fair value model uses a combination of observable and unobservable inputs in its use and application.  While 
the  observable  inputs  are  based  on  readily  available  market  data,  the  unobservable  inputs  involve  increased 
uncertainty and judgement in their selection and application.  Specifically, the risk margin calculated is dependent 
on the following inputs:

a. Yield curve using high quality rated corporate bond rates across different currencies, notably the British Pound, 

US dollar, and the Euro.

b. Weighted  average  cost  of  capital  (“WACC”),  which  represents  a  proxy  for  the  industry  cost  of  capital,  and  is 

calculated utilizing various inputs.  

c. Average payout of the liabilities, which reflects the timing of expected future claim payments.  

We consider the following sensitivity a reasonable deviation for these key assumptions26:

Net Fair Value Liabilities

While  the  yield  curve  is  an  observable  input  since  it  is  based  on  readily  determinable  corporate  bond  rates,  it 
generally has the biggest impact to the fair value in a given year apart from changes in loss estimates. At year-end 
2022, there was a $219 million decrease in the liability due to an increase in the yield curve along with a $21 million 
decrease  in  the  liability  due  to  a  0.45%  increase  in  the  credit  spread  for  non-performance  risk  as  credit  spreads 
have widened with the increase in yield curve.

The WACC remained unchanged from 2020 to 2022.

The observable and unobservable inputs used in the model are further described in Note 13 in our consolidated financial statements.

The  average  payout  of  the  liability  is  adjusted  every  period  to  reflect  actual  net  payments  during  the  period  and 
expected  future  payments,  and  any  acceleration  or  deceleration  of  the  estimated  payment  pattern  will  impact  the 
average payout that would result in an impact to the value of the liability. 

During 2022, there was an acceleration in the payment pattern, which decreased the average payout and resulted 
in a $2 million increase to the liability.

ITEM  7A.  QUANTITATIVE  AND  QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES  ABOUT 
MARKET RISK

The  following  risk  management  discussion  and  the  estimated  amounts  generated  from  the  sensitivity  analysis 
presented are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain market conditions occur. Future results 
may  differ  materially  from  these  estimated  results  due  to,  among  other  things,  actual  developments  in  the  global 
financial markets, changes in the composition of our investment portfolio or changes in our business strategies. The 
results  of  the  analysis  we  use  to  assess  and  mitigate  risk  are  not  projections  of  future  events  or  losses.  See 
"Cautionary  Statement  Regarding  Forward-Looking  Statements"  for  additional  information  regarding  our  forward-
looking statements.

We  are  principally  exposed  to  four  types  of  market  risk:  interest  rate  risk;  credit  risk;  equity  price  risk  and  foreign 
currency risk. Our policies to address these risks in 2022 are not materially different than those used in 2021, and 
based on our current knowledge and expectations, we do not currently anticipate significant changes in our market 
risk exposures or in how we will manage those exposures in future reporting periods. However, due to the ongoing 
uncertainty and volatility in financial markets as a result of continued inflationary pressure, ongoing disruptions and 
decoupling  of  supply  chains,  geopolitical  conflicts  and  tensions  and  various  governmental  responses  thereto,  we 
expect  interest  rates,  credit  spreads  and  global  equity  markets  to  remain  volatile  in  the  near-term.  Furthermore, 
inflation  and  tightening  of  financial  conditions  by  global  central  banks  have  increased  the  risk  of  defaults  across 
many industries. As a result, we continue to closely monitor market risk during this time.
Interest Rate and Credit Spread Risk

Interest  rate  risk  is  the  price  sensitivity  of  a  security  to  changes  in  interest  rates.  Credit  spread  risk  is  the  price 
sensitivity  of  a  security  to  changes  in  credit  spreads.  Our  investment  portfolio  and  funds  held  -  directly  managed 
includes  fixed  maturity  and  short-term  investments,  whose  fair  values  will  fluctuate  with  changes  in  interest  rates 
and credit spreads. We attempt to maintain adequate liquidity in our fixed income securities portfolio with a strategy 
designed  to  emphasize  the  preservation  of  our  invested  assets  and  provide  sufficient  liquidity  for  the  prompt 
payment  of  claims,  contract  liabilities  and  future  policyholder  benefits,  as  well  as  for  settlement  of  commutation 
payments. We also monitor the duration and structure of our investment portfolio.

The  following  tables,  presented  on  a  consolidated,  Run-off  and  Legacy  Underwriting  business  and Assumed  Life 
business basis, summarize the aggregate hypothetical change in fair value from an immediate parallel shift in the 
treasury  yield  curve,  assuming  credit  spreads  remain  constant  in  our  fixed  maturity  and  short-term  investments 
portfolio classified as trading and AFS, our funds held directly managed portfolio and our fixed income funds and our 
fixed income exchange-traded funds, and excludes investments classified as held-for-sale:

Actual  shifts  in  interest  rates  may  not  change  by  the  same  magnitude  across  the  maturity  spectrum  or  on  an 
individual  security  and,  as  a  result,  the  impact  on  the  fair  value  of  our  fixed  maturity  securities,  short-term 
investments, funds held - directly managed, fixed  income funds and fixed income exchange-traded funds may be 
materially different from the resulting change in value indicated in the tables above.

The  following  tables,  presented  on  a  consolidated,  Run-off  and  Legacy  Underwriting  business  and Assumed  Life 
business basis, summarize the aggregate hypothetical change in fair value from an immediate parallel shift in credit 
spreads assuming interest rates remain fixed, in our fixed maturity and short-term investments portfolio classified as 
trading and AFS, our funds held directly managed portfolio, our fixed income funds and our fixed income exchange-
traded funds, and excludes investments classified as held-for-sale:

Credit  risk  relates  to  the  uncertainty  of  a  counterparty’s  ability  to  make  timely  payments  in  accordance  with 
contractual terms of the instrument or contract. We are exposed to direct credit risk primarily within our portfolios of 
fixed  maturity  and  short-term  investments,  through  customers,  brokers  and  reinsurers  in  the  form  of  premiums 
receivable  and  reinsurance  balances  recoverable  on  paid  and  unpaid  losses,  respectively,  and  through  ceding 
companies who retain premium owed to us as collateral for the payment of claims, each as discussed below.
Fixed Maturity and Short-Term Investments

As a holder of $9.6 billion of fixed maturity and short-term investments, we also have exposure to credit risk as a 
result of investment ratings downgrades or issuer defaults. In an effort to mitigate this risk, our investment portfolio 
consists  primarily  of  investment  grade-rated,  liquid,  fixed  maturity  investments  of  short-to-medium  duration.  At 
December  31,  2022,  36.9%  of  our  fixed  maturity  and  short-term  investment  portfolio  was  rated AA  or  higher  by  a 
major  rating  agency  (December  31,  2021:  38.6%)  with  6.5%  rated  lower  than  BBB-  or  non-rated  (December  31, 
2021: 5.6%). The portfolio as a whole, including cash, restricted cash, fixed maturity and short term investments and 
funds held - directly managed, had an average credit quality rating of A+ as of December 31, 2022 (December 31, 
2021:  A+).  In  addition,  we  manage  our  portfolio  pursuant  to  guidelines  that  follow  what  we  believe  are  prudent 
standards of diversification. The guidelines limit the allowable holdings of a single issue and issuers and, as a result, 
we believe we do not have significant concentrations of credit risk. 

A summary of our fixed maturity and short-term investments by credit rating is as follows:

Reinsurance Balances Recoverable on Paid and Unpaid Losses

We have exposure to credit risk as it relates to our reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses. 
Our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  remain  liable  to  the  extent  that  retrocessionaires  do  not  meet  their  contractual 
obligations and, therefore, we evaluate and monitor concentration of credit risk among our reinsurers28. 
Funds Held

Under  funds  held  arrangements,  the  reinsured  company  has  retained  funds  that  would  otherwise  have  been 
remitted  to  our  reinsurance  subsidiaries.  The  funds  held  balance  is  credited  with  investment  income  and  losses 
payable  are  deducted.  We  are  subject  to  credit  risk  if  the  reinsured  company  is  unable  to  honor  the  value  of  the 
funds  held  balances,  such  as  in  the  event  of  insolvency.  Our  funds  held  are  shown  under  two  categories  on  the 
consolidated balance sheets, where funds held upon which we receive the underlying portfolio investment returns 
are  shown  as  "Funds  held  -  directly  managed",  and  funds  held  where  we  receive  a  fixed  crediting  rate  or  other 
contractually  agreed  return  are  shown  as  "Funds  held  by  reinsured  companies".  Both  types  of  funds  held  are 
subject to credit risk. We routinely monitor the creditworthiness of reinsured companies with whom we have funds 
held arrangements. As of December 31, 2022, we had funds held concentrations to reinsured companies exceeding 
10% of shareholders’ equity of $5.0 billion (December 31, 2021: $4.4 billion) in aggregate. However, we generally 
have the contractual ability to offset any shortfall in the payment of the funds held balances with amounts owed by 
us to the reinsured for losses payable and other amounts contractually due.
Equity Price Risk

Our  portfolio  of  equity  investments,  excluding  our  fixed  income  exchange-traded  funds  but  including  the  equity 
funds,  has  exposure  to  equity  price  risk,  which  is  the  risk  of  potential  loss  in  fair  value  resulting  from  adverse 
changes in stock prices. Our fixed income exchange-traded funds are excluded from the below analysis and have 
been  included  within  the  interest  rate  and  credit  spread  risk  analysis  above,  as  these  exchange-traded  funds  are 
part  of  our  fixed  income  investment  strategy  and  are  backed  by  fixed  income  instruments.  The  following  table 
summarizes the aggregate hypothetical change in fair value from a 10% decline in the overall market prices of our 
equities at risk:

Hedge Funds

As of December 31, 2022, we had investments of $549 million (December 31, 2021: $291 million) in hedge funds, 
included  within  our  other  investments,  at  fair  value,  that  have  exposure  to  interest  rate,  credit  spread,  and  equity 
price risk given the underlying assets in those funds.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the impact of a 10% decline in the fair value of these investments would have 
been $55 million and $29 million, respectively. 

Convertible Bonds

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  had  investments  of  $233  million  (December  31,  2021:  $223  million)  in  convertible 
bonds,  included  within  our  fixed  income  portfolio,  that  have  exposure  to  equity  price  risk  given  the  embedded 
derivatives in those investments.

As of December 31, 2022, a 10% decline in the underlying equity prices would result in a $8 million  (December 31, 
2021: $11 million) decline in the fair value of these investments. The sensitivity of the convertible bonds to interest 
rate and credit spread shocks have been included in the interest rate and credit spread analysis above.

Through  our  subsidiaries  located  in  various  jurisdictions,  we  conduct  our  (re)insurance  operations  in  a  variety  of 
non-U.S. currencies. We have the following exposures to foreign currency risk:

•

•

Transaction  Risk:  The  functional  currency  for  the  majority  of  our  subsidiaries  is  the  U.S.  dollar.  Within  these 
entities, any fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar has a direct impact on the 
valuation of our assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies. All changes in foreign exchange rates, 
with  the  exception  of  non-U.S.  dollar  AFS  investments,  are  recognized  in  our  consolidated  statements  of 
earnings. Changes in foreign exchange rates relating to non-U.S. dollar AFS investments are recorded in AOCI 
in  shareholders’  equity.  Our  subsidiaries  with  non-U.S.  dollar  functional  currencies  are  also  exposed  to 
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to their own functional currency. 

Translation  Risk:  We  have  net  investments  in  certain  European,  British,  and  Australian  subsidiaries  whose 
functional currencies are the Euro, British pound and Australian dollar, respectively. The foreign exchange gain 
or loss resulting from the translation of their financial statements from their respective functional currency into 
U.S.  dollars  is  recorded  in  the  cumulative  translation  adjustment  account,  which  is  a  component  of  AOCI  in 
shareholders’ equity. 

Our foreign currency policy is to broadly manage, where possible, our foreign currency risk by:

•

•

Seeking to match our liabilities under (re)insurance policies that are payable in foreign currencies with assets 
that are denominated in such currencies, subject to regulatory constraints. 

Selectively utilizing foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk.

We use foreign currency forward exchange rate contracts to manage foreign currency risk. To the extent our foreign 
currency exposure is not matched or hedged, we may experience foreign exchange losses or gains, which would be 
reflected in our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Enstar Group Limited

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the 
“Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2022,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  earnings,  of  comprehensive 
income, of changes in shareholders’ equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes 
and schedules of summary of investments other than investments in related parties (Schedule I) as of December 
31,  2022,  condensed  financial  information  of  registrant  (Schedule  II),  supplementary  insurance  information 
(Schedule III), and supplemental information concerning property/casualty insurance operations (Schedule VI) as of 
December  31,  2022  and  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  reinsurance  (Schedule  IV)  and  valuation  and  qualifying 
accounts  (Schedule  V)  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  listed  in  the  accompanying  index  (collectively 
referred  to  as  the  “consolidated  financial  statements”).  We  also  have  audited  the  Company's  internal  control  over 
financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 
the  year  then  ended  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of America. 
Also  in  our  opinion,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) 
issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principle

As  discussed  in  Notes  2(b)  and  9  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  changed  the  manner  in 
which it accounts for the amortization of deferred charge assets and deferred gain liabilities in 2022.

Basis for Opinions

The  Company's  management  is  responsible  for  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  for  maintaining  effective 
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial 
reporting,  included  in  Management's Annual  Report  on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting  appearing  under 
Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the 
Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered 
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent 
with  respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of 
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting 
was maintained in all material respects.  

Our  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material 
misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures 
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts 
and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audit  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting 
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of 
the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audit  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an 
understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and 
testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the  assessed  risk.  Our 
audit  also  included  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We 
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance 
regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting 
includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (i)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

108

 
 
 
Table of Contents

with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s 
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may 
become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the  policies  or 
procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated 
financial  statements  that  were  communicated  or  required  to  be  communicated  to  the  audit  committee  and  that  (i) 
relate  to  accounts  or  disclosures  that  are  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  (ii)  involved  our 
especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter 
in  any  way  our  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  taken  as  a  whole,  and  we  are  not,  by 
communicating  the  critical  audit  matters  below,  providing  separate  opinions  on  the  critical  audit  matters  or  on  the 
accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Valuation of losses and loss adjustment expenses (including those at fair value) 

As  described  in  Notes  2,  10  and  13  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  has  $11.7  billion  of 
liabilities  for  losses  and  loss  adjustment  expenses  and  $1.3  billion  of  liabilities  for  losses  and  loss  adjustment 
expenses,  at  fair  value,  as  of  December  31,  2022.  The  liability  for  losses  and  loss  adjustment  expenses,  also 
referred  to  as  loss  reserves,  represents  management’s  gross  estimates  before  reinsurance  for  unpaid  reported 
losses  and  includes  losses  that  have  been  incurred  but  not  yet  reported  using  actuarial  methods.  Management 
performs an analysis of loss reserves by each portfolio that the Company has acquired. Exposures are separated 
into homogenous reserving classes, generally lines of business, within each portfolio. As disclosed by management, 
considerable judgment is used in the process of developing estimates of loss reserves, which involves uncertainty in 
several  areas,  including  use  of  actual  or  industry  data  for  model  inputs,  and  various  projection  assumptions  and 
judgments  depending  on  product  lines,  coverage  type,  or  policy  year.  Several  actuarial  methods  may  be  used  in 
analyzing and projecting potential reserve positions, and a mix of methods may be considered to form an aggregate 
reserve  position  for  each  portfolio.  For  loss  reserves  reported  at  fair  value,  the  fair  value  is  calculated  as  the 
aggregate of discounted cash flow plus a risk margin. The discounted cash flow approach uses estimated nominal 
cash  flows  based  upon  a  payment  pattern  developed  in  accordance  with  actuarial  methods  and  a  discount  rate 
based  upon  a  high  quality  rated  corporate  bond  yield  plus  a  credit  spread  for  non-performance  risk.  Key 
assumptions are made within each actuarial method, including loss development factors and expected loss ratios. 
In addition, in developing loss reserves for insurance claims with asbestos and environmental exposures, traditional 
actuarial  methods  cannot  be  used  and  therefore  alternative  actuarial  methods  are  employed  by  management, 
including the asbestos ground-up exposure analysis (frequency-severity) method. Management uses a combination 
of additional actuarial methods, including the paid survival ratio, paid market share, and decay factor, among others, 
to  periodically  reevaluate  the  continued  reasonableness  of  recorded  loss  reserves  for  these  exposures.  These 
methods involve the use of assumptions relating to expected future annual average payment amounts, paid survival 
ratios,  estimated  market  share,  and  decay  factors.  Judgment  is  applied  by  management  in  evaluating  the  mix  of 
methods selected to form an aggregate reserve position for each portfolio.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of losses and 
loss adjustment expenses (including those at fair value) is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by 
management when developing the estimate of loss reserves, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and 
effort  in  performing  procedures  and  evaluating  management’s  significant  assumptions  related  to  the  loss 
development  factors,  expected  loss  ratios,  and  selected  aggregate  reserve  position  for  each  portfolio  for  non-
asbestos  and  environmental  loss  reserves,  and  expected  future  annual  average  payment  amounts,  paid  survival 
ratios,  estimated  market  share,  decay  factors,  and  the  mix  of  methods  selected  to  form  an  aggregate  reserve 
position for asbestos and environmental loss reserves, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with 
specialized skill and knowledge. 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our 
overall  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  These  procedures  included  testing  the  effectiveness  of 
controls  relating  to  the  valuation  of  loss  reserves,  including  controls  over  the  development  of  significant 
assumptions. These procedures also included,  among  others (i) the involvement of professionals with  specialized 
skill and knowledge to assist in developing an independent estimate of loss reserves, by reserving class, on a test

Table of Contents

basis, and (ii) comparing the independent estimate to management’s actuarial determined reserves to evaluate the 
reasonableness  of  management’s  estimate.  Developing  the  independent  estimate  involved,  on  a  test  basis  (i) 
independently developing the significant assumptions using actual historical data and loss development patterns, as 
well as industry data and other benchmarks, for the respective reserving classes, and (ii) testing the completeness 
and accuracy of data provided by management. For certain other reserving classes, professionals with specialized 
skill and knowledge were used to assist in testing management’s process on a sample basis. Testing management’s 
process included evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions, the appropriateness of the actuarial 
methods used, and testing the completeness and accuracy of data used by management. 

Valuation of defendant asbestos liabilities

As  described  in  Notes  2  and  12  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  has  $607  million  of 
defendant  asbestos  and  environmental  liabilities  as  of  December  31,  2022,  substantially  all  of  which  consists  of 
defendant  asbestos  liabilities.  Defendant  asbestos  liabilities  include  amounts  for  indemnity  and  defense  costs  for 
pending  and  future  asbestos-related  claims,  determined  by  management  using  actuarial  methods.  The  actuarial 
methods  utilize  data  resulting  from  claims  experience  and  include  the  development  of  estimates  of  the  potential 
value  of  asbestos-related  claims  asserted  but  not  yet  resolved,  as  well  as  the  number  and  potential  value  of 
asbestos-related  claims  not  yet  asserted.  In  developing  the  estimate  of  liability  for  potential  future  claims,  the 
actuarial methods project the potential number of future claims based on historical claim filings and health studies. 
The  actuarial  methods  also  utilize  assumptions  based  on  the  Company’s  historical  proportion  of  claims  resolved 
without payment, historical claim resolution costs for those claims that result in a payment, and historical defense 
costs.  The  liabilities  are  estimated  by  management  using  pending  and  projected  future  claim  filings,  projected 
payment  rates,  average  claim  resolution  amounts,  and  estimated  defense  costs,  which  are  derived  based  on 
assumptions relating to defense cost to indemnity cost ratios. Management utilizes judgment when determining the 
assumptions related to projected future claim filings, projected payment rates, and estimated defense costs.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of defendant 
asbestos  liabilities  is  a  critical  audit  matter  are  (i)  the  significant  judgment  by  management  when  developing  the 
estimate of the liability, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and 
evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to future claim filings, average claim resolution amounts, 
and defense cost to indemnity cost ratios, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized 
skill and knowledge. 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our 
overall  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  These  procedures  included  testing  the  effectiveness  of 
controls  relating  to  the  valuation  of  defendant  asbestos  liabilities,  including  controls  over  the  development  of 
significant  assumptions.  These  procedures  also  included,  among  others,  the  involvement  of  professionals  with 
specialized  skill  and  knowledge  to  assist  in  testing  management’s  process  relating  to  the  valuation  of  defendant 
asbestos  liabilities,  which  included  evaluating  the  reasonableness  of  the  significant  assumptions  and  the 
appropriateness  of  the  actuarial  methods  used.  Testing  management’s  process  also  included  testing  the 
completeness and accuracy of data used by management on a sample basis.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors 

Enstar Group Limited:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Enstar  Group  Limited  and  subsidiaries  (the 
Company)  as  of  December  31,  2021,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  earnings,  comprehensive  income, 
changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 
2021,  and  the  related  notes  and  financial  statement  schedules  I  to  VI  (collectively,  the  consolidated  financial 
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of 
the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Notes 2(b) and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to change its 
method of accounting for deferred charge assets as of January 1, 2020.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is 
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting 
firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with 
the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB. Those  standards  require  that  we  plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free 
of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the 
risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and 
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence 
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating 
the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our 
opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated 
financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) 
relate  to  accounts  or  disclosures  that  are  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  (2)  involved  our 
especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter 
in  any  way  our  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  taken  as  a  whole,  and  we  are  not,  by 
communicating  the  critical  audit  matters  below,  providing  separate  opinions  on  the  critical  audit  matters  or  on  the 
accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Assessment of the estimate of loss reserves and asbestos and environmental liabilities

As  discussed  in  Notes  1,  2(e),  2  (g),  10  and  12  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  has 
recorded  a  liability  for  loss  and  loss  adjustment  expenses  (loss  reserves)  and  defendant  asbestos  and 
environmental liabilities (asbestos and environmental liabilities) of $11,269 million and $638 million, respectively, 
as of December 31, 2021. Loss reserves include an amount determined from reported claims and an amount, 
based on historical loss experience and industry statistics, for losses incurred but not reported. Asbestos and 
environmental liabilities include amounts for indemnity and defense costs for pending and future claims, as well 
as  estimated  clean-up  costs  based  on  engineering  reports.  The  Company  establishes  loss  reserves  and 
asbestos  and  environmental  liabilities  primarily  based  on  actuarially  determined  estimates  of  ultimate  losses 
and loss adjustment expenses, with the assistance of actuarial specialists.

We identified the assessment of the estimate of loss reserves and asbestos and environmental liabilities as a 
critical audit matter. The evaluation of the estimate of loss reserves involved a high degree of auditor judgment 
due to the inherent uncertainty that exists in the losses incurred but not yet reported amounts, the outcome of 
coverage disputes on certain lines of business, and the significant amount of time that can lapse between the

Table of Contents

assumption  of  risk  and  ultimate  payment  of  the  claim.  The  evaluation  of  the  estimate  of  asbestos  and 
environmental liabilities involved a high degree of auditor judgment due to the inherent uncertainty that exists in 
estimating the number and potential value of claims asserted, but not yet resolved and claims not yet asserted. 
The  key  assumptions  used  in  the  estimation  process  for  loss  reserves  included  loss  development  factors, 
expected  loss  ratios,  and  expected  trends  in  claim  frequency  and  severity.  The  key  assumptions  used  in  the 
estimation process for asbestos and environmental liabilities included expected trends in claim frequency and 
severity.  Specialized  skills  and  knowledge  were  required  to  evaluate  the  actuarial  methodologies  and  the  key 
assumptions used to estimate loss reserves and asbestos and environmental liabilities.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the 
design  and  tested  the  operating  effectiveness  of  certain  internal  controls  over  the  Company’s  process  to 
estimate  the  loss  reserves  and  asbestos  and  environmental  liabilities.  This  included  controls  over  the 
assumptions listed above and actuarial methodologies used in the estimation of loss reserves and asbestos and 
environmental  liabilities.  We  involved  actuarial  professionals  with  specialized  skills  and  knowledge,  who 
assisted in:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

comparing  the  methodologies  and  assumptions  used  by  the  Company  in  estimating  loss  reserves  and 
asbestos and environmental liabilities with generally accepted actuarial methodologies;

evaluating  assumptions  for  loss  development  factors,  expected  loss  ratios,  and  expected  trends  in  claim 
frequency  and  severity  used  in  the  estimation  process  of  loss  reserves  by  comparing  them  to  historical 
results and industry trends;

evaluating assumptions for expected trends in claim frequency and severity used in the estimation process 
of asbestos and environmental liabilities by comparing them to historical results and industry trends;

developing an independent actuarial estimate of loss reserves and asbestos and environmental liabilities for 
selected lines of business;

examining  the  Company’s  internal  or  independent  external  actuarial  analyses  for  the  remaining  lines  of 
business  by  1)  analyzing  claims  development  in  the  current  year;  and  2)  evaluating  changes  in 
methodologies and assumptions from the prior year;

assessing  the  movement  of  the  recorded  loss  reserves  within  the  Company’s  range  of  actuarially 
determined reserves; and

assessing the movement of the recorded asbestos and environmental liabilities within the Company’s range 
of actuarially determined reserves.

Liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses, fair value

As  discussed  in  Notes  1,  2(e),  10  and  13  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  used  a 
discounted cash flow approach to estimate the liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses, fair value. The 
discounted cash flow approach uses estimated nominal cash flows based on a payment pattern developed in 
accordance  with  standard  actuarial  techniques.  Nominal  loss  reserves  include  an  amount  determined  from 
reported claims and an amount, based on historical loss experience and industry statistics, for losses incurred 
but  not  reported.  The  Company  establishes  nominal  loss  reserves  primarily  based  on  actuarially  determined 
estimates  of  ultimate  loss  and  loss  adjustment  expenses,  with  the  assistance  of  actuarial  specialists.  The 
Company has recorded a liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses, fair value (loss reserves at fair value) 
of $1,989 million as of December 31, 2021.

We  identified  the  assessment  of  loss  reserves  at  fair  value  as  a  critical  audit  matter.  The  evaluation  of  the 
estimate  of  nominal  loss  reserves  involved  a  high  degree  of  auditor  judgment  due  to  the  inherent  uncertainty 
that  exists  in  the  losses  incurred  but  not  yet  reported  amounts,  the  outcome  of  coverage  disputes  on  certain 
lines of business, and the significant amount of time that can lapse between the assumption of risk and ultimate 
payment of the claim. The key assumptions used in the estimation process included loss development factors 
and  expected  trends  in  claim  frequency  and  severity.  Specialized  skills  and  knowledge  were  required  to  1) 
evaluate the actuarial methodologies and certain assumptions used to estimate nominal loss reserves; and 2) 
evaluate  the  projected  payout,  including  timing  and  amount  of  the  nominal  cash  flows  used  in  the  fair  value 
estimate.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the 
design  and  tested  the  operating  effectiveness  of  certain  internal  controls  over  the  Company’s  process  to 
estimate nominal loss reserves. This included controls over the assumptions and actuarial methodologies used 
in the 1) estimation of nominal loss reserves; and 2) the estimation of the projected payout, including timing and

amount  of  the  nominal  cash  flows  used  to  develop  the  fair  value.  We  involved  actuarial  professionals  with 
specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

comparing the methodologies and assumptions used by the Company in estimating nominal loss reserves 
with generally accepted actuarial methodologies;

comparing assumptions for loss development factors and expected trends in claim frequency and severity 
to historical results and industry trends;

developing an independent actuarial estimate of nominal loss reserves for selected lines of business;

examining  the  Company’s  internal  and  independent  external  actuarial  analyses  for  the  remaining  lines  of 
business  by  1)  analyzing  claims  development  in  the  current  year;  and  2)  evaluating  changes  in 
methodologies and assumptions from the prior year;

evaluating  the  Company’s  overall  nominal  loss  reserves  and  assessing  the  movement  of  nominal  loss 
reserves within the Company’s range of actuarially determined reserves;

evaluating the projected payout, including timing, and amount of the nominal cash flows used to develop the 
fair value, by developing an independent projected payout for selected lines of business; and

examining the Company’s projected payout for the remaining lines of business by evaluating changes in the 
timing  of  the  nominal  cash  flows  from  the  prior  year  and  evaluating  changes  in  methodologies  and 
assumptions from the prior year.

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

Enstar  Group  Limited  ("Enstar")  is  a  leading  global  (re)insurance  group  that  offers  innovative  capital  release 
solutions through its network of group companies in Bermuda, the United States, the United Kingdom, Continental 
Europe  and  Australia.  Our  core  focus  is  acquiring  and  managing  (re)insurance  companies  and  portfolios  of 
(re)insurance business in run-off. 

Our voting ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "ESGR". Unless 
the  context  indicates  otherwise,  the  terms  "Enstar,"  "we,"  "us"  or  "our"  mean  Enstar  Group  Limited  and  its 
consolidated  subsidiaries  and  the  term  "Parent  Company"  means  Enstar  Group  Limited  and  not  any  of  its 
consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles 
generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  ("U.S.  GAAP").  All  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been 
eliminated. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  

Enhanzed Re

Our  majority  owned  subsidiary,  Enhanzed  Reinsurance  Ltd.  ("Enhanzed  Re"),  is  included  in  the  consolidated 
financial statements reported on a one quarter lag. The effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of 
operations  of  all  material  events  occurring  at  Enhanzed  Re  through  December  31,  2022  has  been  considered  for 
adjustment and/or disclosure.

In August 2022, Enhanzed Re entered into a Master Agreement with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited (“Cavello”), a 
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Enstar,  and Allianz  SE  (“Allianz”).  Pursuant  to  the  Master Agreement,  Enhanzed  Re, 
Cavello and Allianz agreed to a series of transactions29 that allowed us to unwind Enhanzed Re’s operations in an 
orderly  manner.  The  transactions  included  (i)  commuting  or  novating  all  of  the  reinsurance  contracts  written  by 
Enhanzed Re, (ii) repaying the $70 million of subordinated notes issued by Enhanzed Re to an affiliate of Allianz, 
and (iii) distributing Enhanzed Re’s excess capital to Cavello and Allianz in accordance with their respective equity 
ownership.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  all  of  the  transactions  were  complete,  and  the  impact  of  transactions 
completed in the fourth quarter 2022 will be reflected in our first quarter 2023 results, as a result of the one quarter 
reporting lag.

Use of Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  U.S.  GAAP  requires  us  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at 
the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting 
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

The estimation of unpaid claim liabilities at any given point in time is subject to a high degree of uncertainty for a 
number of reasons. A significant amount of time can lapse between the assumption of risk, the occurrence of a loss 
event,  the  reporting  of  the  event  to  an  (re)insurance  company  and  the  ultimate  payment  of  the  claim  on  the  loss 
event.  Certain  estimates  for  unpaid  claim  liabilities  involve  considerable  uncertainty  due  to  significant  coverage 
litigation and it can be unclear whether past claim experience will be representative of future claim experience.

We  are  subject  to  economic  factors  such  as  interest  rates,  inflation,  foreign  exchange  rates,  adverse  reserve 
developments,  regulation,  tax  policy  changes,  political  risks  and  other  market  risks  that  can  impact  our  strategy, 
operations, and results.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a) Retroactive Reinsurance Contracts

Retroactive  reinsurance  contracts  provide  indemnification  for  losses  and  loss  adjustment  expenses  ("LAE")  with 
respect to past loss events. We do not record any income or expense on recognition of the contracts assets and 
liabilities. Any subsequent remeasurement of the value of liabilities is recorded to net incurred losses and LAE within 
the consolidated statements of earnings. 

(b) Deferred Charge Assets and Deferred Gain Liabilities

If,  at  the  inception  of  a  retroactive  reinsurance  contract,  the  estimated  liabilities  for  losses  and  LAE  exceed  the 
premiums  received,  a  deferred  charge  asset  (“DCA”)  is  recorded  for  this  difference.  In  contrast,  if  the  premiums 
received  are  in  excess  of  the  estimated  undiscounted  ultimate  losses  payable,  a  deferred  gain  liability  (“DGL”)  is 
recorded.  In  addition,  for  retrocessions  of  losses  and  LAE  reserves  that  we  have  assumed  through  retroactive 
reinsurance contracts where the retroceded liabilities exceed the retrocession premiums paid, we record a DGL. 

The premium consideration that we charge the ceding companies under retroactive reinsurance contracts may be 
lower  than  our  estimate  of  losses  and  LAE  liabilities  as  these  liabilities  may  not  be  settled  for  many  years.  Our 
contractual counterparties (cedants) settle the premium consideration upon inception of the contract and we invest 
the  premium  received  over  an  extended  period  of  time,  thereby  generating  investment  income.  As  a  result,  we 
expect  to  generate  profits  from  these  retroactive  reinsurance  contracts  when  taking  into  account  the  premium 
received and expected investment income, less contractual obligations and expenses.

Effective December 31, 2022, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for calculating the amortization of our 
DCAs and DGLs. Previously, any change in ultimate losses on the contracts with a recognized DCA or DGL would 
result in the recognition of an adjustment to the DCA or DGL, as if the adjusted reserves had existed upon inception 
of the contract.  We will no longer adjust the DCAs or DGLs for these events.  

We  continue  to  amortize  the  originating  DCA  balances  over  the  estimated  claim  payment  period  of  the  related 
contracts with the amortization adjusted at each reporting period to reflect new estimates of the pattern and timing 
of  remaining  loss  and  LAE  payments.  Previously,  the  amortization  of  our  DCAs  and  DGLs  was  included  in  net 
incurred losses and LAE. We now present the amortization of our DCAs and DGLs as a separate line item in our 
consolidated statements of earnings. 

Refer to Note 9 for additional information. 

When liabilities for losses and LAE are extinguished through commutations and policy buybacks, they are removed 
from our estimates for the remaining loss and LAE payments, and this will generally result in an acceleration of the 
amortization of the DCAs. 

DCAs are assessed at each reporting period for impairment and if the asset is determined to be impaired, then it is 
written  down  in  the  period  in  which  the  determination  is  made  with  that  write  down  reflected  in  earnings  as  a 
component of net incurred losses and LAE.

For each reinsurance contact where a DCA has been recorded we assess for impairment at each reporting period 
by determining the rate of return that we are required to earn on the invested assets to ensure that all cashflows 
arising from the assumed liabilities are met in full over the projected remaining payout period. This required rate of 
return  is  compared  against  the  modeled  rate  of  return,  the  weighted  average  portfolio  yield  and  the  actual 
annualized rate of return in order to identify indicators that would lead us to record an impairment of the DCA.

(c) Short-duration Insurance Contracts

Premiums written 

Premiums written related to prospective risk policies are earned on a pro-rata basis over the period of the related 
coverage. Reinsurance premiums on prospective risks are recorded at the inception of the policy, are based upon 
contractual  terms  and,  for  certain  business,  are  estimated  based  on  underlying  contracts  or  from  information 
provided by insureds and/or brokers. 

Changes in reinsurance premium estimates for prospective risks are recorded as premiums written in the period in 
which they are determined. 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

121

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Certain  contracts  are  retrospectively  rated  and  provide  for  a  final  adjustment  to  the  premium  based  on  the  final 
settlement of all losses. Premiums on such contracts are adjusted based upon contractual terms, and management 
judgment  is  involved  with  respect  to  the  estimate  of  the  amount  of  losses  that  we  expect  to  incur.  These 
adjustments to the premium are recognized at the time loss thresholds specified in the contract are exceeded and 
are earned over the coverage period, or are earned immediately if the period of risk coverage has passed.

Unearned Premium Reserves and Premiums Receivable

Unearned  premium  reserves,  included  within  other  liabilities  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheets,  represent  the 
unexpired portion of policy premiums. For retrospectively rated contracts as well as those contracts whose written 
premium  amounts  are  recorded  based  on  premium  estimates  at  inception,  changes  to  accrued  premiums  arising 
from changes to these estimates are reflected as changes in premium balances receivable where appropriate. 

Premiums receivable are reported net of an allowance for expected credit losses as appropriate. The allowance is 
based upon our ongoing review of amounts outstanding, historical loss data, including delinquencies and write-offs, 
current and forecasted economic conditions and other relevant factors. The credit risk on our premiums receivable 
balances is substantially reduced where we have the ability to cancel the underlying policy if the policyholder does 
not pay the related premium.

(d) Acquisition Costs 

Acquisition costs, consisting principally of incremental costs including, commissions and brokerage expenses and 
certain premium taxes and fees incurred at the time a contract or policy is issued and which are directly related to 
the successful efforts of acquiring new insurance contracts or renewing existing insurance contracts, are deferred 
and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. 

Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”), recorded within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, are limited to 
their estimated realizable value by line of business based on the related unearned premiums, anticipated claims and 
claim expenses and anticipated investment income.

A  premium  deficiency  occurs  if  the  sum  of  anticipated  losses  and  LAE  exceed  unearned  premiums,  DAC  and 
anticipated investment income. A premium deficiency is initially recognized by charging any DAC to expense to the 
extent  required  in  order  to  eliminate  the  deficiency.  If  the  premium  deficiency  exceeds  the  DAC,  then  a  liability  is 
accrued for the excess deficiency.

(e) Losses and LAE 

The liability for losses and LAE includes reserves for unpaid reported losses and losses incurred but not reported 
("IBNR").  

We establish reserves for unpaid reported losses and LAE based on reports from brokers, ceding companies and 
insureds  and  these  represent  the  estimated  ultimate  cost  of  events  or  conditions  that  have  been  reported  to  or 
specifically identified by us. 

The reserves for IBNR losses are established by us based on actuarially determined estimates of ultimate losses 
and LAE. Inherent in the estimate of ultimate losses and LAE are expected trends in claim severity and frequency, 
historical loss experience, industry statistics and other factors which may vary significantly as claims are settled.

These estimates are reviewed regularly and are subject to the impact of future changes in the factors noted above 
as well as economic conditions including the impact of inflation, legal and judicial developments, and medical cost 
trends. 

Any  subsequent  remeasurement  of  our  reserves  will  be  recorded  in  earnings  in  the  period  in  which  they  become 
known and reflected as part of the net increase or reduction in the estimates of ultimate losses included within net 
incurred losses and LAE in the consolidated statements of earnings. 

Prior  period  development  ("PPD")  arises  from  changes  to  loss  estimates  recognized  in  the  current  calendar  year 
that relate to loss reserves established in previous calendar years.

Our estimates, at inception and on an ongoing basis, do not include an estimate for potential future commutations 
and  policy  buybacks.  Commutations  and  policy  buybacks  are  often  unique  and  circumstance-based,  and  each 
commutation or policy buyback is separately negotiated. Therefore, the successful execution of one commutation or 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

122

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

policy buyback does not necessarily impact the likelihood of other commutations or policy buybacks occurring in the 
future. 

Commutations and policy buybacks provide an opportunity for us to exit exposures to certain policies and insureds 
generally at a discount to our estimate of the ultimate liability and provide us with the ability to eliminate exposure to 
further  losses  which  can  be  beneficial  to  us  as  they  legally  extinguish  liabilities  in  full,  reducing  the  potential  for 
future adverse loss development and future claims handling costs.

Commutations of acquired companies’ exposures have the effect of accelerating the payout of claims compared to 
the probability-weighted ranges of actuarially projected cash flows that we applied when estimating the fair values of 
assets and liabilities at the time of acquisition. 

Commutations are only executed directly with (re)insureds and any changes in ultimate losses are recognized upon 
the execution of a commutation or policy buyback with the (re)insured.

Any material acceleration of payout together with the impact of any material loss reserve savings in any period will 
also accelerate the amortization of any associated fair value adjustments in that period. 

Our (re)insurance subsidiaries also establish provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expenses ("ULAE") for LAE 
relating to run-off costs for the estimated duration of the run-off, such as internal claim management or associated 
operational support costs, which are included in the liability for losses and LAE. These provisions are assessed at 
each reporting date, and provisions relating to future periods are adjusted to reflect any changes in estimates of the 
periodic run-off costs or the duration of the run-off, including the impact of any acceleration of the run-off period that 
may  be  caused  by  commutations.  Provisions  relating  to  the  current  period  together  with  any  adjustment  to  future 
run-off provisions are included in net incurred losses and LAE in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Fair Value Option

We  have  elected  to  apply  the  fair  value  option  for  certain  reinsurance  contracts  including,  loss  portfolio  transfers 
("LPTs") and reinsurance to close ("RITC") transactions. This is an irrevocable election that applies to all balances 
under  the  reinsurance  contract,  including  reinsurance  balances  recoverable  on  paid  and  unpaid  losses  and  the 
liability for losses and LAE. 

We use an internal model to calculate the fair value of the liability for losses and LAE and the reinsurance balances 
recoverable on paid and unpaid losses. The nominal amounts related to reinsurance balances recoverable on paid 
and unpaid losses and the liability for losses and LAE are inputs in our internal model. These liabilities are included 
in losses and LAE, at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, and the changes in the liability are included in 
net incurred losses and LAE on the consolidated statements of earnings.

(f) Future Policyholder Benefits

Our  life  reinsurance  contracts  include  traditional  single  payment  premium  immediate  annuities,  life  contingent 
deferred  annuities,  and  whole  life  reversion  annuity  policies  all  possessing  significant  mortality  risk  in  the  form  of 
longevity risk. 

Future policyholder benefit provisions are established based on the present value of anticipated future cash flows, 
which  includes  judgments  over  estimates  of  mortality  rates,  investment  yields,  policy  expenses,  and  other 
assumptions  by  reference  to  cedants'  historical  data,  regional  mortality  tables,  industry  standards,  and  other 
available  information  sources  as  may  be  reasonably  available.  These  estimates  include  provisions  for  adverse 
deviation. 

These  assumptions  are  locked  in  at  contract  inception  or  assumption  and  are  only  unlocked  and  modified  if  it  is 
deemed that the provision for future policyholder benefits are insufficient. The actual versus anticipated experience 
of  the  assumptions  are  reviewed  periodically.  The  effects  of  changes  in  assumptions  are  recorded  to  the 
consolidated  statements  of  earnings  as  adjustments  in  the  period  in  which  the  assumptions  are  unlocked  and 
changes are made.

The consideration received for life reinsurance contracts is calculated as the fair value of the assets received net of 
commissions, brokerage, or fronting fees.

(g) Defendant Asbestos and Environmental Liabilities 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

123

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Defendant  asbestos  and  environmental  liabilities  ("defendant A&E  liabilities")  on  our  consolidated  balance  sheets 
include amounts for indemnity and defense costs for pending and future asbestos-related claims, determined using 
standard actuarial techniques for asbestos-related exposures. 

Defendant A&E liabilities also include amounts for environmental liabilities, associated with the acquired companies' 
properties, relating to estimated clean-up costs associated with the acquired companies' former operations based 
on engineering reports. 

Changes  to  our  estimate  of  these  liabilities  are  recorded  to  other  income  (expense)  within  the  consolidated 
statements of earnings in the period that our estimate is adjusted. 

(h) Reinsurance Balances Recoverable on Paid and Unpaid Losses 

Amounts  recoverable  from  reinsurers  are  estimated  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  underlying  liability  for  losses 
and  LAE.  We  report  our  reinsurance  balances  recoverable  on  paid  and  unpaid  losses  net  of  an  allowance  for 
estimated uncollectible amounts. 

Our allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance is derived based on various data sources, multiple key inputs 
and forecast scenarios. These include the duration of the collection period, credit quality, changes in reinsurer credit 
standing,  default  rates  specific  to  the  individual  reinsurer,  the  geographical  location  of  the  reinsurer,  contractual 
disputes with reinsurers over individual contentious claims, contract language or coverage issues, industry analyst 
reports and consensus economic forecasts.

To determine the allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance, we use the probability of default ("PD") and loss 
given default ("LGD") methodology whereby each reinsurer is allocated an appropriate PD percentage based on the 
expected payout duration by portfolio. This PD percentage is then multiplied by an appropriate LGD percentage to 
arrive  at  an  overall  credit  allowance  percentage  which  is  then  applied  to  the  reinsurance  balance  recoverable  for 
each  reinsurer,  net  of  any  specific  bad  debt  provisions,  collateral  or  other  contract  related  offsets,  to  arrive  at  the 
overall allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance by reinsurer.

Amounts deemed to be uncollectible, including amounts due from known insolvent reinsurers, are written off against 
the allowance.

Changes in the allowance, as well as any subsequent collections of amounts previously written off, are reported as 
part of the net incurred losses and LAE in our consolidated statements of earnings. 

On an ongoing basis, we also evaluate and monitor the credit risk of our reinsurers, including those under voluntary 
schemes of arrangement, to minimize our exposure to significant losses from potential insolvencies.

(i) Insurance Balances Recoverable 

Amounts  billed  to  and  due  from  insurers  providing  coverage  for  our  defendant  A&E  liabilities  are  calculated  in 
accordance with the terms of the individual insurance contracts.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate and monitor the credit risk related to our insurers and an allowance for estimated 
uncollectible insurance balances recoverable on our defendant A&E liabilities ("allowance for estimated uncollectible 
insurance")  is  established  for  amounts  considered  potentially  uncollectible.  To  determine  the  allowance  for 
estimated uncollectible insurance, we use the inputs and methodologies as described in (h) Reinsurance Balances 
Recoverable on Paid and Unpaid Losses above.

Amounts deemed to be uncollectible, including amounts due from known insolvent insurers, are written off against 
the allowance.

Changes in the allowance, as well as any subsequent collections of amounts previously written off, are reported as 
part of other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of earnings. 

(j) Investments, Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  equivalents  includes  money  market  funds,  fixed  interest  deposits  and  all  highly  liquid  debt  instruments 
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

Short-term investments and fixed maturity investments

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

124

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Short-term  investments  comprise  investments  with  a  maturity  greater  than  three  months  up  to  one  year  from  the 
date of purchase. Fixed maturities comprise investments with a maturity of greater than one year from the date of 
purchase.

Short-term and fixed maturity investments classified as trading are carried at fair value, with realized and unrealized 
gains and losses included in net earnings and reported as net unrealized gains and losses.

Short-term  and  fixed  maturity  investments  classified  as  available-for-sale  ("AFS")  are  carried  at  fair  value,  with 
unrealized  gains  and  losses  excluded  from  net  earnings  and  reported  as  a  separate  component  of  accumulated 
other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Realized gains and losses on sales of investments classified as AFS 
are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings.

The costs of short-term and fixed maturity investments are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of 
discounts,  recognized  using  the  effective  yield  method  and  included  in  net  investment  income.  For  mortgage-
backed  and  asset-backed  investments,  and  any  other  holdings  for  which  there  is  a  prepayment  risk,  prepayment 
assumptions are evaluated and reviewed on a regular basis.

Investment  purchases  and  sales  are  recorded  on  a  trade-date  basis.  Realized  gains  and  losses  on  the  sale  of 
investments are based upon specific identification of the cost of investments.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Each reporting period we identify any credit losses on our investment portfolios not measured at fair value through 
net earnings. Credit losses on our fixed income securities, AFS are recognized through an allowance account which 
is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the security, with the net carrying value of the security presented on 
the consolidated balance sheet at the amount expected to be collected. 

To calculate the amount of the credit loss, we compare the present value of the expected future cash flows with the 
amortized cost basis of the fixed income securities, AFS, with the amount of the credit loss recognized being limited 
to the excess of the amortized cost basis over the fair value of the fixed income securities, AFS, effectively creating 
a “fair value floor”. 

For our fixed income securities, AFS that we do not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that we will 
not  be  required  to  sell  before  an  anticipated  recovery  in  value,  we  separate  the  credit  loss  component  of  any 
unrealized losses from the amount related to all other factors and record the credit loss component in net realized 
gains  (losses)  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  earnings.  The  unrealized  losses  related  to  non-credit  factors  is 
recorded  in  other  comprehensive  income.  The  allowance  for  credit  losses  account  is  adjusted  for  any  additional 
credit losses, write-offs and subsequent recoveries and is reflected in our consolidated statements of earnings. 

For our fixed income securities, AFS where we record a credit loss, a determination is made as to the cause of the 
credit loss and whether we expect a recovery in the fair value of the security. For our fixed income securities, AFS 
where  we  expect  a  recovery  in  fair  value,  the  constant  effective  yield  method  is  utilized,  and  the  investment  is 
amortized to par.

For  our  fixed  income  securities, AFS  that  we  intend  to  sell  or  for  which  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  we  will  be 
required to sell before an anticipated recovery in fair value, the full amount of the unrealized loss is included in net 
realized gains (losses). The new cost basis of  the investment is the previous amortized cost basis less the credit 
loss recognized in net realized gains (losses). The new cost basis is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in 
fair value.

Our  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  derived  based  on  various  data  sources,  multiple  key  inputs  and  forecast 
scenarios. These  include  default  rates  specific  to  the  individual  security,  vintage  of  the  security,  geography  of  the 
issuer of the security, industry analyst reports, credit ratings and consensus economic forecasts.

To determine the credit losses on our fixed income securities, AFS, we use the PD and LGD methodology through a 
third-party  proprietary  tool  which  calculates  the  expected  credit  losses  based  on  a  discounted  cash  flow  method. 
The  tool  uses  effective  interest  rates  to  discount  the  expected  cash  flows  associated  with  each AFS  security  to 
determine  its  fair  value,  which  is  then  compared  with  its  amortized  cost  basis  to  derive  the  credit  loss  on  the 
security.

The methodology and inputs used to determine the credit loss by security type are as follows:

•

Corporate and government securities: Expected cashflows are derived that are specific to each security. The 
PD  is  based  on  a  quantitative  model  that  converts  agency  ratings  to  term  structures  that  vary  by  country, 
industry and the state of the credit cycle. This is used along with macroeconomic forecasts to produce scenario 
conditioned  PDs.  The  LGD  is  based  on  default  studies  provided  by  a  third  party  which  we  use  along  with 
macroeconomic forecasts to produce scenario conditioned LGDs.

• Municipal  securities:  Expected  cash  flows  are  derived  that  are  specific  to  each  security.  The  PD  model 
produces scenario conditioned PD output over the lifetime of the municipal security. These PDs are based on 
key  macroeconomic  and  instrument  specific  risk  factors.  The  LGD  is  derived  based  on  a  model  which  uses 
assumptions specific to the municipal securities.

For  corporate,  government  and  municipal  securities,  we  use  an  explicit  reversion  and  a  three  year  forecast 
period, which we consider to be a reasonable duration during which an economic forecast could continue to be 
reliable.

•

Asset-backed, commercial and residential mortgaged-backed securities: Expected cash flows are derived 
that  are  specific  to  each  security.  The  PD  and  LGD  for  each  security  is  based  on  a  quantitative  model  that 
generates scenario conditioned PD and LGD term structures based on the underlying collateral type, waterfall 
and  other  trustee  information.  This  model  also  considers  prepayments.  For  these  security  types,  there  is  no 
explicit reversion and the forecasts are deemed reasonable and supportable over the life of the portfolio.

We  report  the  investment  income  accrued  on  our  fixed  income  securities, AFS  within  other  assets  and  therefore 
separately  from  the  underlying  fixed  income  securities, AFS.  Due  to  the  short-term  period  during  which  accrued 
investment income remains unpaid, which is typically six months or less since the coupon on our debt securities is 
paid  semi-annually  or  more  frequently,  we  elected  not  to  establish  an  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  our  accrued 
investment  income  balances. Accrued  investment  income  is  written  off  through  net  realized  gains  (losses)  at  the 
time the issuer of the debt security defaults or is expected to default on payments.

Uncollectible fixed income securities are written off when we determine that no additional payments of principal or 
interest will be received.

Equity Securities

We hold investments in publicly traded equities, exchange-traded funds and privately held equities. Unless we have 
elected the measurement alternative, our equity investments are carried at fair value with realized and unrealized 
gains  and  losses  included  in  net  earnings  and  recorded  as  net  realized  and  unrealized  gains  and  losses, 
respectively. 

We may elect to measure a privately held equity without a readily determinable fair value that does not qualify for 
the practical expedient to estimate fair value at its cost less impairment, if any. 

Other investments, at fair value

Other  investments  include  investments  in  limited  partnerships  and  limited  liability  companies  (collectively  "private 
equity  funds")  and  hedge  funds,  fixed  income  funds,  equity  funds,  private  credit  funds,  real  estate  funds, 
collateralized  loan  obligation  ("CLO")  equities  and  CLO  equity  funds  that  carry  their  investments  at  fair  value  and 
CLO equities. 

We have elected the fair value option for certain of our other investments that would otherwise be accounted for as 
an  equity  method  investment.  The  primary  reason  for  electing  the  fair  value  option  is  because  we  believe  this 
measurement  basis  is  consistent  with  the  applicable  accounting  guidance  used  by  the  investment  funds 
themselves. 

Our  other  investments  are  stated  at  fair  value,  which  ordinarily  will  be  the  most  recently  reported  net  asset  value 
("NAV")  as  advised  by  the  fund  manager  or  administrator.  The  NAV  is  based  on  the  fund  manager's  or 
administrator's valuation of the underlying holdings in accordance with the fund's governing documents. Many of our 
fund  investments  publish  NAVs  on  a  daily  basis  and  provide  daily  liquidity  while  others  report  on  a  monthly  or 
quarterly basis. Unrealized gains and losses on other investments are included in net earnings and reported as net 
unrealized gains and losses.

Equity method investments

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

126

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Investments that we do not consolidate but in which we have significant influence over the operating and financial 
policies of the investee are classified as equity method investments and are accounted for using the equity method 
of accounting unless we have elected the fair value option.  

In  applying  the  equity  method  of  accounting,  investments  are  initially  recorded  at  cost  and  are  subsequently 
adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of net income or loss of the investee, net of any distributions 
received from the investee. 

We  typically  record  our  proportionate  share  of  an  investee's  net  income  or  loss  on  a  quarter  lag  in  line  with  the 
timing of when they report their financial information to us. Any adjustments made to the carrying value of our equity 
method investees are based on the most recently available financial information from the investees. 

Changes  in  the  carrying  value  of  such  investments  are  recorded  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  earnings  as 
earnings  (losses)  from  equity  method  investments.  Any  decline  in  the  value  of  our  equity  method  investments 
considered  by  management  to  be  other-than-temporary  is  reflected  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  earnings  in 
the period in which it is determined. 

(k) Variable interest entities

We have investments in certain limited partnership funds which are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) 
and which are included in other investments at the reported NAV. 

Determining whether to consolidate a VIE may require judgment in assessing (i) whether an entity is a VIE, and (ii) if 
we are the entity’s primary beneficiary and thus required to consolidate the entity. To determine if we are the primary 
beneficiary of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact 
the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE 
that could potentially be significant to the VIE. 

Our evaluation includes identification of the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance 
and  an  assessment  of  our  ability  to  direct  those  activities  based  on  governance  provisions,  contractual 
arrangements  to  provide  or  receive  certain  services,  funding  commitments  and  other  applicable  agreements  and 
circumstances.  Our  assessment  of  whether  we  are  the  primary  beneficiary  of  our  VIEs  requires  significant 
assumptions and judgment.

(l) Funds Held 

Under  funds  held  arrangements,  the  reinsured  company  has  retained  funds  that  would  otherwise  have  been 
remitted to us. The funds balance is credited with investment income and losses paid are deducted. 

Funds held are shown under two categories on the consolidated balance sheets, funds held where we receive the 
underlying portfolio economics are shown as "Funds held - directly managed", and funds held where we receive a 
fixed crediting rate or other contractually agreed return are shown as "Funds held by reinsured companies". Where 
we  receive  a  contractually  agreed  return,  we  evaluate  whether  we  are  required  to  recognize  an  embedded 
derivative.

Funds held by reinsured companies are carried at cost and any embedded derivative is carried at fair value. 

Funds held - directly managed, are carried at fair value because it represents the aggregate of funds held at cost 
and the value of an embedded derivative. The embedded derivative relates to our contractual right to receive the 
return  on  the  underlying  investment  portfolio  and  the  performance  risk  of  the  individual  assets  supporting  the 
reinsurance contract. 

We include the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets with the host 
contract in order to reflect the expected settlement of these features with the host contract. 

The investment returns on both categories of funds held are recognized in net investment income and net realized 
and unrealized gains (losses), respectively. The change in the fair value of the embedded derivative is included in 
net unrealized gains (losses). 

(m) Foreign Exchange 

Our  reporting  currency  is  the  U.S.  dollar.  Assets  and  liabilities  of  certain  of  our  subsidiaries  and  equity  method 
investees whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated at period end exchange rates. Revenues 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

127

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

and expenses of such foreign entities are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effect of the 
currency translation adjustments for these foreign entities is included in AOCI.

Other foreign currency assets and liabilities that are considered monetary items are translated at exchange rates in 
effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated either at transaction date 
exchange rates or using an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the reporting period. These exchange 
gains and losses are recognized in net foreign exchange gains (losses) in our consolidated statements of earnings.

(n) Share-based Compensation 

We  use  three  types  of  share-based  compensation  arrangements:  (i)  restricted  shares,  restricted  share  units 
(“RSUs”) and performance share units ("PSUs"), (ii) joint share ownership program ("JSOP"), and (iii) shares issued 
under our employee share purchase plans.  Our share-based compensation awards qualify for equity classification. 
We issue new shares once the awards have vested. 

For equity-classified awards, the fair value of the compensation cost is measured at the grant date and is expensed 
over the service period of the award within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of 
earnings. Expenses for the PSU awards are adjusted for changes in the performance multiplier on the award. We 
recognize forfeitures as they occur. 

(o) Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments in our risk management strategies and investment operations. Derivatives, with the 
exception of embedded derivatives, are recorded on a trade-date basis and carried at fair value within other assets 
or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. 

Embedded  derivatives  are  generally  presented  with  the  host  contract  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The 
corresponding host contract is accounted for according  to the accounting guidance applicable for that instrument. 
Our  convertible  bond  portfolio,  recorded  within  fixed  maturity  securities,  trading  and  AFS  on  the  consolidated 
balance sheets, and certain of our funds held arrangements (as described above) contain embedded derivatives. 

Changes  in  the  fair  value  as  well  as  realized  gains  or  losses  on  derivative  instruments  are  recognized  in  net 
earnings  if  they  are  not  designated  as  qualifying  hedging  instruments  or  if  the  criteria  for  establishing  a  perfectly 
effective designated hedging relationship for our net investment hedges has not been met. However, if a designated 
net  investment  hedge  is  deemed  to  be  perfectly  effective,  then  we  recognize  the  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the 
underlying  hedging  instrument  in AOCI  until  the  application  of  hedge  accounting  is  discontinued. Any  cumulative 
gains or losses arising on designated net investment hedges are deferred in AOCI until the cumulative translation 
adjustment  from  the  underlying  hedged  net  investment  is  recognized  in  net  earnings  due  to  a  disposal, 
deconsolidation or substantial liquidation.

(p) Income Taxes 

Certain  of  our  subsidiaries  and  branches  operate  in  jurisdictions  where  they  are  subject  to  taxation.  Current  and 
deferred tax expense or benefit is allocated to net earnings (loss), or, in certain cases, to discontinued operations or 
other  comprehensive  income  (loss).  Current  tax  is  recognized  and  measured  using  enacted  tax  laws  and  rates 
applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in the period in which the income tax is accrued or realized. Deferred taxes are 
provided  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  used  in  the  financial 
statements and the tax basis used in the various jurisdictional tax returns. When our assessment indicates that all or 
some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax 
assets to reduce the assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized.

We  recognize  the  benefit  relating  to  tax  positions  only  where  the  position  is  more  likely  than  not  to  be  sustained 
assuming examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax benefit is measured as the largest amount that is greater 
than  50  percent  likely  of  being  realized  upon  settlement. A  liability  or  other  adjustment  is  recognized  for  any  tax 
benefit (along with any interest and penalty, if applicable) claimed in a tax return in excess of the amount allowed to 
be recognized in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. Any changes in amounts recognized are recorded in 
the period in which they are determined in our consolidated statements of earnings.

(q) Earnings Per Share 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

128

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and excludes 
potentially  dilutive  securities  such  as  restricted  shares,  restricted  share  units,  warrants,  options  and  convertible 
securities. 

Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  based  on  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  and  ordinary  share  equivalents 
outstanding  calculated  using  the  treasury  stock  method  for  all  potentially  dilutive  securities.  When  the  effect  of 
dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive, these securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per 
share.

(r) Acquisitions and Goodwill 

We  record  business  acquisition  assets  and  liabilities  at  their  estimated  fair  value.  The  fair  values  of  each  of  the 
acquired  (re)insurance  assets  and  liabilities  are  derived  from  probability-weighted  ranges  of  the  associated 
projected cash flows, based on actuarially prepared information and our run-off strategy. 

Our  run-off  strategy  is  expected  to  be  different  from  the  seller's,  who  generally  do  not  specialize  in  running  off 
(re)insurance liabilities.

The  key  assumptions  used  by  us  in  the  valuation  of  acquired  companies  are  (i)  the  projected  payout,  timing  and 
amount  of  claims  liabilities;  (ii)  the  related  projected  timing  and  amount  of  reinsurance  collections;  (iii)  an 
appropriate discount rate, which is applied to determine the present value of the future cash flows; (iv) the estimated 
unallocated  LAE  to  be  incurred  over  the  life  of  the  run-off;  (v)  the  impact  of  any  accelerated  run-off  strategy;  and 
(vi) an appropriate risk margin.

The  difference  between  the  nominal  carrying  values  of  the  acquired  reinsurance  liabilities  and  assets  as  of  the 
acquisition  date  and  their  fair  value  is  recorded  as  a  fair  value  adjustment  ("FVA")  on  the  consolidated  balance 
sheet.  The  FVA  is  amortized  over  the  estimated  payout  period  of  the  acquired  outstanding  losses  and  LAE  and 
reinsurance balances recoverable. We carry unamortized FVA balances on the following consolidated balance sheet 
captions: losses and loss adjustment expenses, defendant asbestos and environmental liabilities and reinsurance 
balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses. 

To the extent the actual payout experience after the acquisition is materially faster or slower than anticipated at the 
time of the acquisition as a result of, (i) our active claims management strategies, which include commutations and 
policy buybacks, (ii) an adjustment to the estimated ultimate loss reserves, (iii) changes in bad debt provisions, or 
(iv) changes in estimates of future run-off costs following accelerated payouts, then the amortization of the FVA is 
adjusted to reflect such changes.

The  difference  between  the  fair  value  of  net  assets  acquired  and  the  purchase  price  is  recorded  as  goodwill  and 
included  as  an  asset  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  or  as  a  gain  from  bargain  purchase  in  the  consolidated 
statements  of  earnings.  Goodwill  is  established  initially  upon  acquisition  and  assessed  at  least  annually  for 
impairment.  If  the  goodwill  asset  is  determined  to  be  impaired  it  is  written  down  in  the  period  in  which  the 
determination is made.

(s) Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests 

We  have  contracted  with  certain  parties  holding  noncontrolling  interests  in  certain  of  our  subsidiaries.  These 
contracts  provide  certain  redemption  rights  to  the  holders,  which  may  be  settled  in  our  own  shares  or  cash  or  a 
combination of cash and shares, at our option. 

Redeemable  noncontrolling  interests  with  redemption  features  that  are  not  solely  within  our  control  are  classified 
within temporary equity in the consolidated balance sheets and carried at their redemption value, which is fair value. 
Any  change  in  the  fair  value  is  recognized  through  retained  earnings  as  if  the  balance  sheet  date  was  also  the 
redemption date.

(t) Held-for-sale Business and Discontinued Operations 

We  report  a  business  as  held-for-sale  when  certain  criteria  are  met,  which  include  (i)  management  has  either 
approved the sale or is in the process of obtaining approval to sell the business and is committed to a formal plan to 
sell the business, (ii) the business is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) the business is being 
actively  marketed  for  sale  at  a  price  that  is  reasonable  in  relation  to  its  current  fair  value,  and  (iv)  the  sale  is 
anticipated to occur within the next 12 months, among other specified criteria. 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

129

 
 
 
Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

A  business  classified  as  held-for-sale  is  recorded  at  the  lower  of  its  carrying  amount  or  estimated  fair  value  less 
costs to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value, a loss is recognized. Assets 
and liabilities related to the business classified as held-for-sale are separately reported in our consolidated balance 
sheets beginning in the period in which the business is classified as held-for-sale. 

Disposals that represent strategic shifts that have or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results 
are  reported  as  discontinued  operations  which  requires  the  restatement  of  the  comparatives  reflected  on  our 
consolidated  financial  statements.  In  addition,  transactions  with  discontinued  operations  are  not  eliminated  on 
consolidation and any transactions that were previously eliminated on consolidation but which will continue with the 
discontinued  operations  are  restated  for  all  periods  presented  and  reflected  within  continuing  operations  in  our 
consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2022 

ASU  2021-04  -  Issuer's  Accounting  for  Certain  Modifications  or  Exchanges  of  Freestanding  Equity  - 
Classified Written Call Options

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 which requires issuers to account for modifications or exchanges of 
freestanding  equity-classified  written  call  options  that  remain  equity  classified  after  the  modification  or  exchange 
based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. Under the ASU, an issuer considers the facts 
and circumstances of a modification or exchange and accounts for the resulting change in fair value of the written 
call option based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt, or for other reasons. 
The  guidance  clarifies  that  to  the  extent  applicable,  issuers  should  first  reference  other  GAAP  to  account  for  the 
effect  of  a  modification.  If  other  GAAP  is  not  applicable,  the  guidance  clarifies  whether  to  account  for  the 
modification or exchange as either (i) an adjustment to equity, or (ii) an expense.

The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2018-12 - Targeted Improvement to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts

In August  2018,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2018-12  and  subsequently  issued ASUs  2019-09  and  2020-11  serving  to 
defer the effective date of implementation. These updates: 

•

•

•

Require at least annual review of assumptions used to determine the provision for future policyholder benefits 
with the recognition of any resulting re-measurement gains or losses, excluding those related to discount rate 
changes, in the consolidated statement of earnings; 

Use upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument discount rates to discount future cash flows with the impact 
of these changes recognized in other comprehensive income; and

Introduce  new  disclosure  requirements  around  the  provisions  for  future  policyholder  benefits,  policyholder 
account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and DAC, which includes information about 
significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement.

These amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early 
adoption is permitted and certain provisions of the update are required to be adopted on a fully retrospective basis, 
while others may be adopted on a modified retrospective basis.

We will adopt ASU 2018-12 effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition approach, with a 
transition date of September 1, 2021. This is the date that we acquired Enhanzed Re through a step acquisition and 
consolidated Enhanzed Re’s existing assets and liabilities, including all of our future policyholder benefit contracts. 
We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our shareholders’ equity as of 
the transition date.  

We  have  estimated  the  impact  of  remeasuring  the  discount  rate  assumptions  applied  to  our  future  policyholder 
benefits  using  an  upper-medium  grade  fixed-income  instrument  yield  for  each  reporting  period  from  transition  to 
December 31, 2022. We anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2018-12 as of January 1, 2023 will result in an increase 
to AOCI of between $340 million and $380 million. The impact of remeasuring our future policyholder benefits from 
September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 is primarily driven by a change in the discount rate assumption, which 

Enstar Group Limited | 2022 Form 10-K    

130

 
 
 
Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

reflected  increases  in  interest  rates  during  2022.  This  impact  to  AOCI  will  be  reclassified  to  earnings  upon  the 
novation of the Enhanzed Re life business that will be included in the first quarter 2023 financial statements.

Adopting ASU 2018-12 will also require us to expand our future policyholder benefit disclosures.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 3 - Segment Information

Table of Contents

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION 

Our segment structure aligns with how our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, 
views our business, assesses performance and allocates resources to our business components. Our business is 
organized into four reportable segments:

•

Run-off:  consists  of  our  acquired  property  and  casualty  and  other  (re)insurance  business,  including  our 
defendant asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) businesses and StarStone International (from January 1, 2021) 
following our decision to place it into an orderly run-off. 

Our  primary  objective  of  the  Run-off  segment  is  to  recognize  favorable  prior  period  development  in  our  net 
incurred losses and LAE (run-off liability earnings or “RLE”) over time by settling claims in a timely, cost efficient 
manner  using  our  claims  management  expertise,  including  settling  claims  for  lower  than  outstanding  ultimate 
loss estimates and implementation of reinsurance and commutation strategies.

The  Run-off  segment  results  comprises  net  premiums  earned,  other  income,  net  incurred  losses  and  LAE, 
acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses. 

•

Assumed Life: The Assumed Life segment includes Enhanzed Re’s life and property aggregate excess of loss 
(catastrophe) business. 

In 2021, we ceased accepting any new catastrophe reinsurance business and, in 2022, we completed a series 
of  commutation  and  novation  agreements  which  ceased  any  continuing  reinsurance  obligations  for  this 
segment.  Given our rationalization of the Enhanzed Re reinsurance business30, we have renamed the segment 
from Enhanzed Re to Assumed Life in 2022. We may leverage this segment for any future potential assumed 
life  business  transactions  if  and  when  they  occur.  Our  primary  objective  of  the  Assumed  Life  segment  is  to 
reinsure products that focus on longevity and investment risks.

The Assumed Life segment results comprises net premiums earned, net incurred losses and LAE, policyholder 
benefit expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses. 

•

Investments:  consists  of  our  investment  activities  and  the  performance  of  our  investment  portfolio,  excluding 
those investable assets attributable to our Legacy Underwriting segment. 

Our  primary  objective  of  the  Investments  segment  is  to  obtain  the  highest  possible  risk  and  capital  adjusted 
returns  while  maintaining  prudent  diversification  of  assets  and  operating  within  the  constraints  of  a  global 
regulated (re)insurance company. We additionally consider the liquidity requirements and duration of our claims, 
policyholder benefits and contract liabilities.

The Investments segment results comprises net investment income, net realized gains (losses), net unrealized 
gains (losses), general and administrative expenses and earnings from equity method investments. 

•

Legacy Underwriting: consists of businesses that we have either, in the case of Atrium, exited via the sale of 
the  majority  of  our  interest  in  or,  in  the  case  of  StarStone  International  (included  in  the  Legacy  Underwriting 
Segment through December 31, 2020), placed into run-off. 

Prior to January 1, 2021, this segment comprised SGL No. 1 Limited (“SGL No. 1”)'s 25% net share of Atrium's 
Syndicate 609 business at Lloyd's and StarStone International. From January 1, 2021, this segment comprises 
SGL  No.1's  25%  gross  share  of  the  2020  and  prior  underwriting  years  of Atrium's  Syndicate  609  at  Lloyd's, 
offset by the contractual transfer of the results of that business to the Atrium entities that were divested in an 
exchange transaction (the “Exchange Transaction”)31. There is no net retention for Enstar on Atrium's 2020 and 
prior underwriting years. 

The Legacy Underwriting segment results comprises net premiums earned, net investment income, net realized 
gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses), other income (expense), net incurred losses and LAE, acquisition 
costs and general and administrative expenses. 

Management measures segment performance based on segment income (loss). Segment income (loss) is derived 
by including certain items from total income and net earnings (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders, as

defined above. Income and expense items that are not directly attributable to our reportable segments are included 
within our corporate and other activities, which do not qualify as an operating segment. These include, 

a. holding company income and expenses, 

b.

Expenses that are directly attributable to our four reportable segments are disclosed under those segments while 
non-direct expenses, as well as costs related to shared services that are not directly attributable to our reportable 
segments, are allocated to our reportable segments as well as to our corporate and other activities, on the basis of 
the actual or proportion of benefit derived from the services provided.

Our assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis by management for decision making purposes since they support 
business operations across all of our four reportable segments as well as our corporate and other activities. We do 
not allocate assets to our reportable segments with the exception of reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and 
unpaid losses and goodwill that are directly attributable to our reportable segments.

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS 

Enhanzed Re

On September 1, 2021, we completed the purchase of the entire 27.7% equity interest in Enhanzed Re held by an 
affiliate  of  Hillhouse  Group  for  cash  consideration  of  $217  million  and  assumed  the  Hillhouse  Group's  affiliate's 
remaining outstanding capital commitment to Enhanzed Re of $40 million (the "Step Acquisition"). 

Following  the  completion  of  the  Step  Acquisition,  our  equity  interest  in  Enhanzed  Re  increased  from  47.4%  to 
75.1%. Effective September 1, 2021, we consolidated Enhanzed Re (previously accounted for as an equity method 
investment) and eliminated any intercompany transactions and balances between us and Enhanzed Re.

On December 28, 2022, Enhanzed Re acquired Allianz SE’s ("Allianz")32 remaining 24.9% interest for $174 million, 
the impact of which will be reflected in our first quarter 2023 results as a result of reporting the results of Enhanzed 
Re on a one quarter lag.  

The following table represents the fair value of net assets acquired, inclusive of the net effect of settlement of pre-
existing relationships, as of September 1, 2021:

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 4 - Business Acquisitions

During  the  third  quarter  of  2021,  we  recognized  a  total  gain  on  the  Step  Acquisition  of  $47  million,  which  was 
recorded  in  net  gain  on  purchase  and  sales  of  subsidiaries  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  earnings,  and 
consisted  of  a  bargain  purchase  gain,  a  gain  on  remeasurement  of  our  previously  held  equity  investment  to  fair 
value and a gain on settlement of pre-existing relationships.

We recognized a bargain purchase gain of $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the fair value of 
the  interest  in  the  net  assets  acquired  exceeded  the  total  purchase  price.  The  bargain  purchase  gain  was 
attributable to the negotiation process with Hillhouse Group and the resulting cash consideration paid was based on 
90% of Enhanzed Re's total shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2021 which was less than the fair value of the net 
assets acquired. 

In  accordance  with  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting,  we  remeasured  our  previously  held  equity  method 
investment  in  Enhanzed  Re  to  fair  value.  The  fair  value  of  the  previously  held  equity  method  investment  and 
noncontrolling  interest  was  calculated  as  the  fair  value  of  Enhanzed  Re's  total  net  assets  multiplied  by  the 
respective ownership percentages. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable 
in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements. We also considered guideline market transactions, and the 
implied multiple from those transactions corroborated the results of the fair value estimate.

At the time of the transaction, we held contractual pre-existing relationships with Enhanzed Re, consisting of quota 
share reinsurance contracts and an agreement to act as the insurance manager for Enhanzed Re. The pre-existing 
relationships were deemed to be effectively settled at fair value on the acquisition date. 

We record Enhanzed Re's results on a one quarter lag. The table below summarizes the results of Enhanzed Re's 
operations,  which  are  included  in  our  consolidated  statement  of  earnings  from  September  1,  2021,  the  date  of 
acquisition, to December 31, 2021:

In  2020  and  2021  we  executed  a  series  of  transactions  to  exit  our  direct  investment  in  active  underwriting 
businesses. We completed these transaction with our co-investors and connected parties, Trident V, L.P., Trident V 
Parallel  Fund,  L.P.  and  Trident  V  Professionals  Fund,  L.P.  (collectively,  the  "Trident  V  Funds"),  managed  by 
StonePoint  Capital  LLC  (“Stone  Point”)  and  Dowling  Capital  Partners  I,  L.P.  and  Capital  City  Partners  LLC 
(collectively, the "Dowling Funds").  

In November 2020, we sold our majority interest in StarStone U.S. to Core Specialty, a newly formed entity.

In  January  2021,  we  acquired  the  Trident  V  Fund’s  interest  in  Core  Specialty  in  exchange  for  a  portion  of  our 
indirect  interest  in  Northshore  (the  holding  company  of  Atrium  and  Arden),  and  subsequently  deconsolidated 
Northshore.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  hold  a  13.8%  interest  in  Northshore  and  a  19.9%  interest  in  Core 
Specialty.  

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SGL No. 1, a Lloyd’s corporate member, we provided 25% of the underwriting 
capacity  on  the  2017  to  2020  underwriting  years  of  Atrium's  Syndicate  609  at  Lloyd’s.  In  conjunction  with  the 
completion of the Exchange Transaction, SGL No.1 ceased its provision of underwriting capacity on Syndicate 609 
for future underwriting years.

SGL  No.1  was  obligated  to  support  underwriting  capacity  on  Syndicate  609  through  the  provision  of  Funds  at 
Lloyd’s (“FAL”), and settled its share of the 2020 and prior underwriting years for the economic benefit of Atrium via 
reinsurance  agreements  with Arden  and  a  Syndicate  609  Capacity  Lease Agreement  with Atrium  5  Limited,  a  UK 
domiciled subsidiary of Atrium through December 31, 2022. 

As a result of these contractual arrangements, the net loss reserve liabilities, cash, investments and other assets 
that support those liabilities, will be settled by: i) the distribution of SGL No.1’s share of the Syndicate 609 result; ii) 
the  settlement  of  the  net  payable  or  receivable  position  on  the  reinsurance  agreement  with  Arden;  and  iii)  the 
required settlement, if any, of the Syndicate 609 Capacity Lease Agreement payable, which will occur in 2023.

Balances  due  from  (due  to)  under  these  contractual  arrangements  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021  were  as 
follows:

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no retention by Enstar of the net results of Atrium's 
2020  and  prior  underwriting  years  as  the  business  was  contractually  transferred  to  the Atrium  entities  that  were 
divested in the Exchange Transaction.

Recapitalization of StarStone U.S. and Discontinued Operations

On November 30, 2020, we completed the sale and recapitalization of StarStone U.S. through the sale of StarStone 
U.S. to Core Specialty. We received consideration of $282 million in the form of common shares of Core Specialty 
and cash. 

The  StarStone  U.S.  business  qualified  as  a  discontinued  operation.  The  following  table  summarizes  the

Following  the  completion  of  the  sale  of  StarStone  U.S.  to  Core  Specialty  on  November  30,  2020,  our  continuing 
involvement with StarStone U.S comprised of the following transactions:

LPT and ADC reinsurance agreement

In connection with the sale of StarStone U.S. to Core Specialty, one of our insurance subsidiaries entered into an 
LPT  and  ADC  reinsurance  agreement  with  StarStone  U.S.  pursuant  to  which  we  reinsured  all  of  the  net  loss 
reserves of StarStone U.S. in respect of premium earned prior to October 31, 2020.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 5 - Divestitures, Held-for-Sale Businesses and Discontinued Operations 

Our subsidiary's obligations to StarStone U.S. under the LPT and ADC reinsurance agreement are guaranteed by 
the  Parent  Company.  The  LPT  and ADC  reinsurance  agreement  between  our  subsidiary  and  StarStone  U.S.  will 
continue in force until such time as our liability with respect to the assumed total net loss reserves terminates.

Concurrent  with  the  closing  of  the  LPT  and  ADC  reinsurance  agreement,  one  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries 
entered into an Administrative Services Agreement ("ASA") with StarStone U.S., through which it was appointed as 
an  independent  contractor  to  provide  certain  administrative  services  covering  the  business  we  assumed  from 
StarStone  U.S.  through  the  LPT  and ADC  reinsurance  agreement.  This ASA  became  effective  on  November  30, 
2020  and  will  continue  in  force  (subject  to  certain  limited  exceptions)  until  such  time  as  the  LPT  and  ADC 
reinsurance agreement terminates.

In  addition,  concurrent  with  the  sale  of  StarStone  U.S.  to  Core  Specialty,  one  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries 
entered  into  a  Transition  Services Agreement  ("TSA")  with  Core  Specialty  to  provide  certain  transitional  services 
relating to the StarStone U.S. businesses. The TSA was terminated in November 2022. 

Reinsurance transactions previously eliminated on consolidation

The  table  below  presents  a  summary  of  the  total  income  and  expenses  which  have  been  recognized  within  our

(1) For the year ended December 31, 2021, negative total income was driven by a premium adjustment. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 
negative  total  expenses  were  driven  by  favorable  loss  development  on  the  losses  and  LAE  reserves  ceded  by  StarStone  U.S.  to  our 
subsidiaries.
Cash flows 

The cash (outflows) inflows between our subsidiaries and StarStone U.S. for the years ended December 31, 2022, 
2021 and 2020 were $(129) million, $(102) million and $99 million, respectively.

Equity method investment

Our  investment  in  the  common  shares  of  Core  Specialty,  which  is  included  in  equity  method  investments  on  our 
consolidated balance sheets, was $211 million as of December 31, 2022 (2021: $225 million). 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, our proportionate share of loss on our investment in Core Specialty was 
$14 million (2021: $6 million), which is included within earnings from equity method investments in our consolidated 
statement of earnings and is recorded on a quarter lag.  

Run-off of StarStone International (non-U.S.)

In June 2020, we placed StarStone International into an orderly run-off (the "StarStone International Run-Off"). The 
results of StarStone International are included within continuing operations. 

In March 2021, we sold StarStone Underwriting Limited ("SUL"), a Lloyd's managing agency, together with the right 
to operate Lloyd's Syndicate 1301 for the 2021 and future years of account, to Inigo Limited ("Inigo"), in exchange 
for shares in Inigo and cash. We recognized a gain on the sale of $23 million. In addition, we committed to invest up 
to $27 million in Inigo. 

As of December 31, 2022, our investment in Inigo, which is accounted for as a privately held equity investment and  
carried at fair value, was $40 million (2021: $43 million), and we have funded $22 million of our capital commitment, 
with $5 million yet to be called by Inigo.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the number of securities classified as AFS in an unrealized loss position for 
which  an  allowance  for  credit  loss  is  not  recorded  was  2,935  and  2,930,  respectively.  Of  these  securities,  the 
number  of  securities  that  had  been  in  an  unrealized  loss  position  for  twelve  months  or  longer  was  1,155  and  93, 
respectively.

The contractual terms of a majority of these investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price 
less  than  the  amortized  cost  basis  of  the  security.  While  interest  rates  have  increased  and  credit  spreads  have 
widened, and in certain cases credit ratings were downgraded, we currently do not expect the issuers of these fixed 
income securities to settle them at a price less than their amortized cost basis and therefore it is expected that we 
will recover the entire amortized cost basis of each security. Furthermore, we do not intend to sell the securities that 
are currently in an unrealized loss position, and it is also not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the 
securities before the recovery of their amortized cost bases.

Equity investments include publicly traded common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and privately held 
common  and  preferred  stocks.  Our  publicly  traded  equity  investments  in  common  and  preferred  stocks 
predominantly trade on major exchanges and are managed by our external advisors. Our investments in exchange-
traded funds also trade on major exchanges.

Our privately held equity investments in common and preferred stocks are direct investments in companies that we 
believe offer attractive risk adjusted returns and/or offer other strategic advantages. Each investment may have its 
own unique terms and conditions and there may be restrictions on disposals. There is no active market for these

•

•

•

Hedge funds invest in fixed income, equity and other investments. 

Fixed income funds comprise a number of positions in diversified fixed income funds that are managed by third-
party managers. Underlying investments vary from high-grade corporate bonds to non-investment grade senior 
secured  loans  and  bonds,  in  both  liquid  and  illiquid  markets.  The  liquid  fixed  income  funds  have  regularly 
published prices. 

Private equity funds include primary, secondaries diversified by asset classes, regional vintage and sectors and 
direct co-investment opportunities.

Private credit funds invest in direct senior or collateralized loans.

Equity funds invest primarily in public equities. 

CLO equity funds invest primarily in the equity tranches of term-financed securitizations of diversified pools of 
corporate bank loans.

34 Refer to Note 23 for further information on certain privately held equity investments.

CLO equities comprise investments in the equity tranches of term-financed securitizations of diversified pools of 
corporate bank loans. 

Real estate funds comprise of real estate funds that invest primarily in commercial real estate equity.

Other investments, including equities measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient

We use NAV as a practical expedient to fair value certain of our other investments, including equities. Due to a lag 
in the valuations of certain funds reported by the managers, we may record changes in valuation with up to a three-
month  lag35.  We  regularly  review  and  discuss  fund  performance  with  the  fund  managers  to  corroborate  the 
reasonableness  of  the  reported  net  asset  values  and  to  assess  whether  any  events  have  occurred  within  the  lag 
period that would affect the valuation of the investments. 

Certain  of  our  other  investments  are  subject  to  restrictions  on  redemptions  and  sales  that  are  determined  by  the 
governing  documents,  which  limits  our  ability  to  liquidate  those  investments. These  restrictions  may  include  lock-
ups,  redemption  gates,  restricted  share  classes  or  side  pockets,  restrictions  on  the  frequency  of  redemption  and 
notice periods. A gate is the ability to deny or delay a redemption request, whereas a side-pocket is a designated 
account for which the investor loses its redemption rights. 

Certain of our other investments may not have any restrictions governing their sale, but there is no active market 
and no guarantee that we will be able to execute a sale in a timely manner. In addition, even if these investments 
are  not  eligible  for  redemption  or  sales  are  restricted,  we  may  still  receive  income  distributions  from  those  other 
investments. 

The table below details the estimated period by which proceeds would be received if we had provided notice of our 
intent to redeem or initiated a sales process as of December 31, 2022 for our investments measured at fair value

Funds Held by Reinsured Companies 

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  we  had  funds  held  by  reinsured  companies  of  $3.6  billion  and  $2.3  billion, 
respectively. The increase from December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by the LPT transaction with Aspen. 

Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the Aspen  LPT  transaction,  in  addition  to  earning  a  fixed  crediting  rate  (“base  crediting 
rate”)  on  the  funds  withheld  balance  we  received  as  premium  consideration,  as  of  October  1,  2022  and  through 
September  30,  2025  we  will  also  receive  a  variable  return  based  on  the  performance  of  Aspen’s  investments 
(together, the “full crediting rate”). 

The nature of the arrangement results in an embedded derivative, which represents the fair value of the amount by 
which  all  future  interest  payments  on  the  funds  withheld  balance  made  at  the  full  crediting  rate  are  expected  to 
exceed all future interest payments made on the funds withheld balance at the base crediting rate. The fair value of 
the embedded derivative as of December 31, 2022 was $44 million.

We  utilize  trust  accounts  to  collateralize  business  with  our  (re)insurance  counterparties.  We  are  also  required  to 
maintain investments and cash and cash equivalents on deposit with regulatory authorities and Lloyd's to support 
our  (re)insurance  operations.  The  investments  and  cash  and  cash  equivalents  on  deposit  are  available  to  settle 
(re)insurance liabilities. Collateral generally takes the form of assets held in trust, letters of credit or funds held. The 
assets  used  as  collateral  are  primarily  highly  rated  fixed  maturity  securities.  The  carrying  value  of  our  restricted 
assets, including restricted cash of $508 million and $446 million, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively,

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Instruments

7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS 

We use derivative instruments in our risk management strategies and investment operations.

Foreign currency forward exchange rate contracts are used in qualifying hedging relationships to hedge the foreign 
currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of our net investments in foreign operations. 

We  also  utilize  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  in  non-qualifying  hedging  relationships  as  part  of  our  overall 
foreign currency risk management strategy or to obtain exposure to a particular financial market, as well as for yield 
enhancement and collectively managing credit and duration risk.

From  time  to  time  we  may  also  utilize  credit  default  swaps  to  both  hedge  and  replicate  credit  exposure  and 
government bond futures contracts for interest rate management.

The following table presents the gross notional amounts and estimated fair values of our derivatives recorded within

Certain of our subsidiaries and assumed portfolios, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce 
their exposure to the risk of (re)insurance assumed. 

The  fair  value  adjustments,  determined  on  acquisition  of  (re)insurance  subsidiaries,  are  based  on  the  estimated 
timing  of  loss  and  LAE  recoveries  and  an  assumed  interest  rate  equivalent  to  a  risk  free  rate  for  securities  with 
similar duration to the acquired reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses plus a spread for credit 
risk, and are amortized over the estimated recovery period, as adjusted for accelerations in timing of payments as a 
result of commutation settlements36. 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses of $1.1 
billion  and  $1.5  billion,  respectively.  The  decrease  of  $386  million  was  primarily  due  to  cash  collections,  adverse 
ceded development and foreign exchange movement.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 9 - Deferred Charge Assets and Deferred Gain Liabilities

9. DEFERRED CHARGE ASSETS AND DEFERRED GAIN LIABILITIES

Change in net DCA Amortization

Effective December 31, 2022, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for calculating the amortization of our 
DCAs.  Previously,  any  change  in  ultimate  losses  on  the  contracts  with  a  recognized  DCA  would  result  in  the 
recognition of an adjustment to the DCA, as if the adjusted reserves had existed upon inception of the contract. We 
will no longer adjust the DCA for these events.  

We  continue  to  amortize  the  originating  DCA  balances  over  the  estimated  claim  payment  period  of  the  related 
contracts with the amortization adjusted at each reporting period to reflect new estimates of the pattern and timing 
of  remaining  losses  and  LAE  payments.  Previously,  the  amortization  of  our  DCAs  and  DGLs  was  included  in  net 
incurred losses and LAE. We now present the amortization of our DCAs and DGLs as a separate line item in our 
consolidated statements of earnings. 

We will continue to assess the DCA for impairment and record any adjustments in the period evaluated.

We made the change in accounting policy because the primary basis for accepting premium consideration that is 
lower  than  the  estimate  of  losses  and  LAE  liabilities  assumed  is  due  to  the  time  value  of  money,  inclusive  of  our 
expectation  of  generating  investment  income,  rather  than  expectations  of  changes  in  ultimate  losses  on  the 
contracts. 

We  believe  that  the  change  in  policy  improves  the  usefulness  of  our  financial  statements  as  the  changes  in 
amortization of the DCA will no longer offset the loss developments, which allows the insurance loss developments 
to  be  recognized  consistently  through  our  consolidated  statement  of  earnings  regardless  of  whether  the  contract 
resulted in a DCA at inception. 

We have retrospectively applied this change in accounting policy to all applicable prior period information presented 
herein as required. As of January 1, 2020, the cumulative effect of this change resulted in a $158 million increase to 
retained earnings, which is reflected as a cumulative change in accounting principle in the consolidated statements 
of changes in shareholders’ equity. 

The following tables provide a summary of the effect of the change in accounting policy on our 2022 and previously 
reported consolidated financial statements:

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 10 - Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

10. LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

The  liability  for  losses  and  LAE,  also  referred  to  as  loss  reserves,  represents  our  gross  estimates  before 
reinsurance for unpaid reported losses (Outstanding Loss Reserves, or "OLR") and includes losses that have been 
incurred but not yet reported ("IBNR") using actuarial methods. We recognize an asset for the portion of the liability 
that  we  expect  to  recover  from  reinsurers.  LAE  reserves  include  allocated  LAE  ("ALAE")  and  unallocated  LAE 
("ULAE").  ALAE  are  linked  to  the  settlement  of  an  individual  claim  or  loss,  whereas  ULAE  are  based  on  our 
estimates of future costs to administer the claims. IBNR includes amounts for unreported claims, development on 
known claims and reopened claims. 

Our  loss  reserves  cover  multiple  lines  of  business,  including  asbestos,  environmental,  general  casualty,  workers' 
compensation, marine, aviation and transit, construction defect, professional indemnity/directors and officers, motor, 
property and other non-life lines of business.

2022: The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $403 million related to prior periods was primarily driven 
by net favorable development in the following Run-off segment lines of business: 

Workers’  Compensation  -  The  workers'  compensation  line  of  business  experienced  $318  million  of  favorable 
development, most notably in our 2017 and 2019 to 2021 acquisition years, as a result of:

•

•

•

•

lower severity trends on certain existing claims; 

reduced levels of expected frequency of claims for excess workers’ compensation; 

favorable claim settlements, including accelerated and favorable claim settlement patterns on certain portfolios; 
and 

an ADC contract where the cedants have experienced continued favorable ground-up performance.  

During 2022, we also completed 15 commutations that resulted in a net reduction of ultimate losses of $11 million in 
our workers' compensation line of business.

Motor - The experience in our motor line was adverse by $74 million due to higher than expected claims severity 
primarily on older liabilities and slower than expected claim settlement rates related to our 2020 acquisition year. 

General Casualty - The experience in the general casualty reserves was adverse by $57 million, including adverse 
development on an LPT portfolio from our 2020 acquisition year, partially offset by favorable development on certain 
of our 2019 and 2021 ADC contracts.  Notably,

• Our  2020  acquisition  year  general  casualty  liabilities  experienced  additional  claim  reporting  latency  and 
unexpected  increased  severity  on  a  small  number  of  large  New  York  Labor  Law  claims  which  resulted  in 
increased overall ultimate loss estimates.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 10 - Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

• Our  2019  and  2021  acquisition  year ADC  general  casualty  liabilities  show  a  continued  pattern  of  ground  up 

favorable development which has resulted in lower estimates of our reserves for these exposures.

Marine,  Aviation  and  Transit  -  The  marine,  aviation  and  transit  line  of  business  experienced  $56  million  of 
favorable development as a result of favorable experience across a variety of claim types, related to the 2014, 2018 
and 2019 acquisition years.

Our  Assumed  Life  segment  also  experienced  favorable  claim  activity  on  our  2021  acquisition  year  catastrophe 
business.  During  2022,  we  commuted  back  to  Allianz  the  catastrophe  reinsurance  business  originally  ceded  to 
Enhanzed  Re  by  Allianz  and  recognized  a  favorable  commutation  gain  of  $59  million,  of  which  $26  million 
contributed to a favorable reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses. The remaining $33 million represented the 
accelerated  amortization  of  the  remaining  fair  value  adjustment  liability  and  is  included  within  amortization  of  fair 
value adjustments. 

2021: 

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $281 million related to prior periods was primarily driven by net 
favorable development in the following Run-off segment lines of business: 

• Workers’ Compensation - The workers' compensation line of business experienced a $234 million favorable 
development  as  a  result  of  reduced  claims  activity  and  favorable  settlements  on  open  claims  in  2011  &  prior 
accident years in one portfolio as well as recent 2015 - 2018 accident years on another. 

During  2021,  we  also  completed  15  commutations  that  resulted  in  a  net  reduction  of  ultimate  losses  of 
$10 million in our workers' compensation line of business.

• General  Casualty  -  The  experience  in  the  general  casualty  reserves  was  adverse  by  $116  million.  This  was 
partially  due  to  an  increase  in  opioid  exposure  from  our  2020  acquisition  year  and  increased  expectations  of 
latent claims and a lengthening of the payment pattern related to our 2019 acquisition year.

During 2021, we also completed 18 commutations that resulted in a net reduction of ultimate losses of $2 million 
in our general casualty line of business.

• Marine,  Aviation  and  Transit  -  The  marine,  aviation  and  transit  line  of  business  experienced  a  $47  million 

reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses due to favorable experience across a variety of claim types. 

During 2021, we also completed 4 commutations  that resulted in a net increase of ultimate losses of $1 million 
in our marine, aviation and transit line of business.

• Motor  -  The  experience  in  the  motor  line  was  adverse  by  $43  million  due  to  higher-than-expected  claims 

severity relating to our 2020 acquisition year. 

2020: The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $130 million related to prior periods was primarily driven 
by net favorable development in the following Run-off segment lines of business: 

• Workers’ Compensation - The workers' compensation line of business experienced a $183 million reduction in 
estimates  of  net  ultimates  losses  as  a  result  of  favorable  actual  development  versus  expected  development 
across nearly all of our acquired companies and assumed portfolios. 

During  2020,  we  paid  net  losses  of  $143  million  and  released  case  and  LAE  reserves  of  $177  million.  This 
represents a decline in reported losses of $34 million for the year. 

As a result of the favorable claims development, we recorded a release of $149 million primarily attributed to a 
settlement of an outwards reinsurance agreement resulting in the reduction in gross ultimate losses inuring to 
our benefit.

During  2020,  we  also  completed  10  commutations  that  resulted  in  a  net  reduction  of  ultimate  losses  of 
$11 million in our workers' compensation line of business.

• Motor - The experience in the motor line was adverse by $148 million due to higher than expected severity. The 
case  reserves  were  significantly  strengthened  when  we  transferred  the  claim  handling  to  a  new  third-party 
administrator with specialist experience in commercial automobile exposures.

Changes in Fair Value - Fair Value Option

During  2022,  2021  and  2020,  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  liabilities  related  to  assumed  retroactive  reinsurance 
agreements  for  which  we  have  elected  the  fair  value  option  of  $(200)  million,  $(75)  million  and  $119  million, 
respectively, were primarily driven by an increase in corporate bond yields in 2022 and 2021 and narrowing credit 
spreads in corporate bond yields in 2020.

Methodology for Establishing Reserves (Excluding Asbestos and Environmental Claims)

We perform our analysis of loss reserves and IBNR by each portfolio that we have acquired.  Exposures for each 
portfolio are separated into homogenous reserving classes, generally lines of business, within each portfolio. Each 
reserving  class  contains  either  direct  insurance  or  assumed  reinsurance  reserves  and  groups  of  relatively  similar 
types of risks and exposures and lines of business written.

Based  upon  the  exposure  characteristics  and  the  nature  of  available  data  for  each  individual  reserving  class,  we 
select loss development extrapolation methods to calculate an estimate of ultimate losses.

We  establish  our  recorded  reserves  as  an  estimate  of  unpaid  losses  for  each  class  primarily  by  utilizing  actuarial 
expertise  and  projection  methods.  The  actuarial  methodologies  are  selected  after  consideration  of  exposure 
characteristics, data limitations, and strengths and weaknesses of each method applied.

We use generally accepted actuarial methodologies to estimate ultimate losses and LAE, including:

Cumulative  Reported  and  Paid  Loss  Development  Methods:  The  Cumulative  Reported  (Case  Incurred) 
Loss  Development  method  estimates  ultimate  losses  by  multiplying  cumulative  reported  losses  (paid  losses 
plus case reserves) by a cumulative development factor. 

Historical "age-to-age" loss development factors (“LDFs”) are calculated to measure the relative development of 
an  accident  year  from  one  maturity  point  to  the  next.  Age-to-age  LDFs  are  then  selected  based  on  these 
historical factors. The selected age-to-age LDFs are used to project the ultimate losses. 

The  Cumulative  Paid  Loss  Development  Method  is  mechanically  identical  to  the  Cumulative  Reported  Loss 
Development Method described above, but the paid method does not rely on case reserves or claim reporting 
patterns in making projections. 

Incremental  Reported  and  Paid  Loss  Development  Methods:  Incremental  incurred  and  paid  analyses  are 
performed in cases where cumulative data is not  available. The concept of the incremental loss development 
methods is similar to the cumulative loss development methods described above, in that the pattern of historical 
paid or incurred losses is used to project the remaining future development. 

IBNR-to-Case  Outstanding  Method:  This  method  requires  the  estimation  of  consistent  cumulative  paid  and 
reported (case) incurred loss development patterns and age-to-ultimate LDFs, either from data that is specific to 
the  segment  being  analyzed  or  from  applicable  benchmark  or  industry  data.  These  patterns  imply  a  specific 
expected relationship between IBNR, including both development on known claims (bulk reserve) and losses on 
true late reported claims, and reported case incurred losses.

Bornhuetter-Ferguson Expected Loss Projection Reported and Paid Methods: The Bornhuetter-Ferguson 
Expected  Loss  Projection  method  produces  expected  unreported  losses  by  multiplying  the  expected  losses, 
which are based on initial selected ultimate loss ratios by year, by the unreported percentage. The unreported 
percentage  is  calculated  as  one  minus  the  reciprocal  of  the  selected  cumulative  incurred  LDFs.  Finally,  the 
expected unreported losses are added to the current reported losses to produce ultimate losses. 

The  calculations  underlying  the  Bornhuetter-Ferguson  Expected  Loss  Projection  method  based  on  paid  loss 
data are similar to the Bornhuetter-Ferguson calculations based on reported losses, with the exception that paid 
losses and unpaid percentages replace reported losses and unreported percentages.

Reserve  Run-off  Method:  This  method  first  projects  the  future  values  of  case  reserves  for  all  underwriting 
years to future ages of development by selecting a run-off pattern of case reserves based on the observed run-
off ratios at each age of development. Once the ratios have been selected, they are used to project the future 
values of case reserves. 

A  paid  on  reserve  factor  is  selected  in  a  similar  way.  The  ratios  of  the  observed  amounts  paid  during  each 
development period to the respective case reserves at the beginning of the periods are used to estimate how 
much will be paid on the case reserves during each development period. These paid on reserve factors are then 
applied to the case reserve amounts that were projected during the first phase of this method. A summation of 
the resulting paid amounts yields an estimate of the liability.

We  also  consider  additional  information,  such  as,  but  not  limited  to,  changes  in  the  legal,  regulatory  and  judicial 
environment;  medical  cost  trends  and  general  inflation;  and  adjust  the  estimate  of  ultimate  losses  as  deemed 
necessary. 

Paid-to-date losses are then deducted from the estimate of ultimate losses and LAE to arrive at an estimated total 
loss  reserve,  and  reported  outstanding  case  reserves  are  then  deducted  from  estimated  total  loss  reserves  to 
calculate the estimated IBNR reserve.

These  estimates  are  reviewed  regularly  and,  as  experience  develops  and  new  information  becomes  known,  the 
reserves are adjusted as necessary. We generally perform a full review of each portfolio annually and additionally 
we  perform  interim  reviews  quarterly  to  ascertain  whether  changes  to  claims  paid  or  case  reserve  amounts  have 
varied from our expectations developed during the last annual reserve review.  In this event, we consider the timing 
and magnitude of the actual versus expected development and may record an interim adjustment to our recorded 
reserves.

Asbestos and Environmental Reserving Methodologies

The  ultimate  losses  from  A&E  claims  cannot  be  estimated  using  traditional  actuarial  reserving  methods  that 
extrapolate losses to an ultimate basis using loss development, and therefore use alternative projection methods. 
Claims are spread across multiple policy years, generally from 1985 and prior, based on the still evolving case law 
in each jurisdiction, making historical development patterns unreliable to forecast the future claim payments. 

As such, we estimate IBNR reserves for each of our portfolios with A&E exposures separately using the following 
methodologies:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Paid Survival Ratio Method: In this method, our historical calendar year payments are examined to determine 
an expected future annual average payment amount. This amount is multiplied by an expected number of future 
payment years to estimate a reserve. 

Trends  in  calendar  year  payment  activity  are  considered  when  selecting  an  expected  future  annual  average 
payment amount (which is derived from an expected paid survival ratio) and accepted industry benchmarks are 
used in determining an expected number of future payment years. 

Paid  Market  Share  Method:  In  this  method,  our  estimated  market  share  is  applied  to  the  industry  estimated 
unpaid  losses  or  estimate  of  industry  ultimate  losses.  The  ratio  of  our  historical  calendar  year  payments  to 
industry historical calendar year payments is examined to estimate our market share. This ratio is then applied 
to the estimate of industry unpaid losses or estimate of industry ultimate losses. 

Reserve-to-Paid  Method:  In  this  method,  the  ratio  of  estimated  industry  reserves  to  industry  paid-to-date 
losses is multiplied by our paid-to-date losses to estimate our reserves. 

IBNR  -  Case  Ratio  Method:  In  this  method,  the  ratio  of  estimated  industry  IBNR  reserves  to  industry  case 
reserves is multiplied by our case reserves to estimate our IBNR reserves. 

Ultimate-to-Incurred  Method:  In  this  method,  the  ratio  of  estimated  industry  ultimate  losses  to  industry 
incurred-to-date losses is applied to our incurred-to-date losses to estimate our IBNR reserves. 

Decay Factor Method: In this method, a decay factor is directly applied to our payment data to estimate future 
payments. The decay factors were selected based on a review of our own decays and industry decays.

Asbestos Ground-up Exposure Analysis Using Frequency-Severity Method: This method is used when we 
have  policy  and  claim  data  at  the  defendant  or  claimant  level.  In  a  frequency-severity  method  there  are  two 
components  that  need  to  be  estimated,  namely,  (1)  the  number  of  claims  that  will  ultimately  be  settled  with 
payment and (2) the severity of these claims including legal costs. 

The estimate of future settled claims is based on the historical claim filing rates, historical claim dismissal rates, 
current pending claims and epidemiological forecasts of asbestos disease incident for future claim filings.

The net liability for unpaid losses and LAE as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 included $2.0 billion and $2.3 billion, 
respectively, which represented an estimate of the net ultimate liability for A&E claims. The gross liability for such 
claims as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2.0 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.

The decrease of $291 million and $313 million on a net and gross basis, respectively, in 2022 was primarily due to 
net paid losses during the year.

Disclosures of Incurred and Paid Loss Development, IBNR, Claims Counts and Payout Percentages

The loss development tables set forth our historic incurred and paid loss development through December 31, 2022, 
net of reinsurance, as well as the cumulative number of reported claims, IBNR balances, and other supplementary 
information for our segment lines of business with material net losses and LAE balances as of December 31, 2022.

The following factors are relevant to the loss development information presented in the tables below:

•

Level  of  Disaggregation:  In  addition  to  accident  year,  we  have  disaggregated  the  information  in  the  loss 
development  tables  by  segment,  line  of  business  and  acquisition  year.    We  have  presented  only  the  last  10 
years  of  portfolio  acquisitions  as  we  believe  that  the  current  activity  on  the  preceding  acquisition  years  is  not 
meaningful.  We have presented only our Run-off segment as we retain no net economic interest in the activity 
of  our  Legacy  Underwriting  segment.    We  have  not  presented  empty  rows  where  we  did  not  acquire  any 
business for that combination of line of business, acquisition and accident year.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 10 - Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

We  present  acquisition  year  information  so  that  the  impact  of  take-on  positions  from  acquired  and  assumed 
business (as described below) is additionally separated and provides a consistent trend of the development of 
our ultimate loss reserves.

StarStone International: In 2014, we acquired an active underwriting business, Starstone Group. In 2020, we 
sold  the  StarStone  US  business  and  effective  January  1,  2021,  StarStone  International  reserves  totaling 
$955 million were transferred from the Legacy Underwriting segment to the Run-off segment. 

As  such,  on  a  prospective  basis  we  have  separately  presented  the  Starstone  International  loss  development 
tables  on  a  standalone  basis  from  the  date  of  acquisition  (April  2014).  Additionally,  the  loss  development 
information for StarStone International has been included in the Run-off segment loss development tables as an 
acquisition  in  2021.  In  both  instances,  we  have  aligned  the  StarStone  International  lines  of  business  with  the 
Run-off segment lines of business.

Cessions to Enhanzed Re: As a result of the Step Acquisition of Enhanzed Re, the Run-off segment business 
previously  ceded  to  Enhanzed  Re  became  subject  to  elimination  upon  consolidation.  As  such,  the  loss 
development  disclosures  presented  for  the  Run-off  segment  have  been  restated  to  exclude  the  historical 
incurred and paid loss development related to these cessions.

Acquired  and  Assumed  Business: Acquired  and  assumed  net  reserves  arising  from  business  acquisitions 
and retroactive reinsurance agreements are included in the loss development tables on a prospective basis as 
the loss reserves are effectively re-underwritten at the date that they are acquired or assumed. 

We believe that the historical loss development prior to our acquisition is not relevant with respect to our own 
experience managing these acquired loss reserves. Furthermore, the information required to prepare the loss 
development disclosures on a retrospective basis is not always available to us or reliable.

Commutations and Policy Buybacks: The loss development tables include the net incurred effect of agreeing 
a commutation or policy buyback in the year in which the commutation or policy buyback is contractually agreed 
and the related settlement in the year in which it is paid or received. 

We do not recast prior years to remove commuted or bought back claims, since this practice would eliminate 
any  historical  favorable  or  adverse  development  we  may  have  experienced  on  the  commuted  loss  and  LAE 
reserves. 

Net  Liabilities  for  Losses  and  LAE  and  Net  Paid  Losses  and  LAE:  The  loss  development  tables  include 
reported case reserves and IBNR liabilities as well as cumulative paid losses, both of which include ALAE and 
are net of reinsurance recoveries.

The  loss  development  tables  exclude  ULAE,  fair  value  adjustments  related  to  both  business  acquisitions  and 
retroactive reinsurance agreements for which we have elected the fair value option as well as DCAs.

PPD:  PPD  included  in  the  loss  development  tables  is  calculated  as  follows:  i)  for  acquisition  years  2021  and 
prior, subtract the 2021 calendar year net cumulative incurred losses and ALAE from the 2022 calendar year for 
all accident years excluding 2022; and  ii)  add  the  result of  subtracting the  2022 acquisition  year net  reserves 
acquired from the 2022 net cumulative incurred losses and ALE for all accident year excluding 2022.

Foreign  Exchange:  The  loss  development  tables  exclude  the  impact  of  foreign  exchange  rates.  Historical 
amounts  are  disclosed  on  a  constant-currency  basis,  which  is  achieved  by  using  constant  foreign  exchange 
rates  between  years  in  the  loss  development  tables,  and  translating  prior  year  amounts  denominated  in 
currencies  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar,  which  is  our  reporting  currency,  using  the  closing  exchange  rates  as  of 
December 31, 2022.

Reported Claim Counts: Reported claim counts are included in the loss development tables on a cumulative 
basis. We measure claim frequency information on an individual claim count basis as follows:

◦

◦

The claim frequency information includes direct and assumed open and closed claims at the claimant level. 
Reported claims that are closed without a payment are included within our cumulative number of reported 
claims because we typically incur claim adjustment expenses on them prior to their closure. 

The  claim  count  numbers  exclude  counts  related  to  claims  within  policy  deductibles  where  the  insured  is 
responsible for the payment of losses within the deductible layer.

Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 10 - Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

◦

◦

Individual claim counts related to certain assumed reinsurance contracts such as excess-of-loss and quota 
share treaties are not available to us, and the losses arising from these treaties have been treated as single 
claims  for  the  purposes  of  determining  claim  counts.  Therefore,  each  treaty  year  within  the  reinsurance 
contract is deemed a single claim because the detailed underlying individual claim information is generally 
not reported to us by our cedants.

For  certain  insurance  facilities  and  business  produced  or  managed  by  managing  general  agents, 
coverholders  and  third  party  administrators  where  the  underlying  claims  data  is  reported  to  us  in  an 
aggregated  format,  the  information  necessary  to  provide  cumulative  claims  frequency  is  not  available.  In 
such cases, we typically record a “block” claim in our system. 

Our reported claim frequency information is subject to the following inherent limitations when analyzing our loss 
experience and severity:

◦

◦

◦

◦

Claim counts are presented only on a reported and not on an ultimate basis. Reported claim counts include 
open claims which have outstanding reserves but excludes claim counts that may relate to IBNR. As such 
the reported claims are consistent with reported losses, which can be calculated by subtracting IBNR losses 
from  incurred  losses.  However,  the  reported  claim  counts  are  inconsistent  with  the  losses  in  the  incurred 
loss  development  tables,  which  include  IBNR  losses,  and  to  losses  in  the  paid  loss  development  tables, 
which exclude outstanding reserves.

Reported claim counts have not been adjusted for ceded reinsurance, which may distort any measures of 
frequency or severity.

For lines of business that have a mix of primary and excess layer exposures, such as our general casualty 
and workers’ compensation lines of business, the reported claim counts may fluctuate from period to period 
between exposure layers, thereby distorting any measure of frequency and severity.

The  use  of  our  reported  claim  frequency  information  to  project  ultimate  loss  payouts  by  disaggregated 
disclosure  category  or  line  of  business  may  not  be  as  meaningful  as  claim  count  information  related  to 
individual contracts at a more granular level.

Annual Percentage Payout: Annual percentage payout disclosures are based on the payout of claims by age, 
net of reinsurance. Claim age reflects the number of years that have lapsed since the original acquisition to the 
date the claim is paid, or in the case of StarStone International, the number of years that have lapsed since the 
claim’s accident year to the date the claims is paid. 

There may be occasions where, due to our claims management strategies (including commutations and policy 
buybacks) or due to the timing of claims payments relative to the associated recovery, the cash received from 
reinsurance recoveries is greater than the cash paid out to our claimants, (i.e. a net recovery rather than a net 
payout  for  a  particular  calendar  year),  thereby  resulting  in  a  negative  annual  percentage  payout  for  that 
calendar year.

Supplemental Information: The information related to net incurred and paid loss development for all calendar 
years preceding the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as 2012 and prior accident year and all acquisition 
year information (including net acquired reserves), and the related historical average claims payout percentage 
disclosure is unaudited and is presented as supplementary information.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into a LPT agreement with Aspen, which absorbed the Aspen ADC agreement we entered 
into in 2020. As such, we have reclassified the net reserves acquired in acquisition year 2020 and the net cumulative incurred losses and allocated 
loss adjustment expenses recorded through December 31, 2022 to acquisition year 2022.

Table of Contents

11. FUTURE POLICYHOLDER BENEFITS

The  provision  for  future  policyholder  benefits  includes  provisions  for  life  contingent  liabilities  assumed  as  well  as 
other  policy  benefits  for  insureds.  The  future  policyholder  benefits  are  equal  to  the  present  value  of  the  future 
benefits payments and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. 

The  mortality  assumptions  are  based  on  cedant  historical  data,  regional  mortality  tables,  and  industry  standards. 
The  present  value  of  the  liabilities  are  discounted  utilizing  the  discount  rate  derived  from  the  yield  on  the  assets 
supporting the liabilities and may include certain reinvestment assumptions. The future policyholder benefits related 
to traditional annuity products include provisions for adverse deviation.

The  carrying  value  of  the  provision  for  future  policyholder  benefits  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021  was  as 
follows:

Deferred life contingent annuities
Whole of life reversion annuities

In-payment annuities

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  we  had  future  policyholder  benefit  liabilities  of  $1.2  billion  and  $1.5  billion, 
respectively.  The  decrease  of  $318  million  was  primarily  due  to  foreign  currency  translation  following  the 
strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.

We  believe  that  the  assumptions  used  represent  a  realistic  and  appropriate  basis  for  estimating  the  provision  for 
future policyholder benefits as of December 31, 2022. However, these assumptions are subject to change and we 
regularly  review  and  adjust  our  estimates  and  provisioning  methodologies  taking  into  account  all  currently  known 
information and updated assumptions relating to unknown information.

In November 2022, we completed a novation of all of our life contingent liabilities and other policy benefits pursuant 
to the Master Agreement we entered into with Allianz. The impact of the novation will be reflected in our first quarter 
2023 results as we report the results of Enhanzed Re on a one quarter reporting lag37.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 12 - Defendant Asbestos and Environmental Liabilities

12. DEFENDANT ASBESTOS AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES 

We acquired DCo and Morse TEC in 2016 and 2019, respectively. These companies hold liabilities associated with 
personal injury asbestos claims and environmental claims arising from their legacy manufacturing operations. DCo 
and Morse TEC continue to process asbestos personal injury claims.

Defendant A&E liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets include amounts for indemnity and defense costs for 
pending and future asbestos-related claims, determined using actuarial methods for asbestos-related exposures. 

Defendant A&E liabilities also include amounts for environmental liabilities, associated with DCo's and Morse TEC's 
properties, relating to estimated clean-up costs associated with the acquired companies' former operations based 
on engineering reports. 

Insurance balances recoverable on our consolidated balance sheets include estimated insurance recoveries relating 
to our defendant asbestos liabilities. The recorded asset represents our assessment of the capacity of the insurance 
agreements  to  indemnify  our  subsidiaries  for  the  anticipated  defense  and  loss  payments  for  pending  claims  and 
projected future claims. 

The  recognition  of  these  recoveries  is  based  on  an  assessment  of  the  right  to  recover  under  the  respective 
contracts  and  on  the  financial  strength  of  the  insurers.  The  recorded  asset  does  not  represent  the  limits  of  our 
insurance  coverage,  but  rather  the  amount  we  would  expect  to  recover  if  the  accrued  and  projected  loss  and 
defense costs were paid in full. 

Included  within  insurance  balances  recoverable  and  defendant A&E  liabilities  are  the  fair  value  adjustments  that 
were  initially  recognized  upon  acquisition.  These  fair  value  adjustments  are  amortized  in  proportion  to  the  actual 
payout of claims and recoveries. 

The  carrying  value  of  the  defendant A&E  liabilities,  insurance  recoveries,  future  estimated  expenses  and  the  fair 
value adjustments related to DCo and Morse TEC as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Total  other  expense  from  our  defendant  A&E  liabilities  was  $4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022, 
primarily due to the amortization of fair value adjustments and partially offset by favorable changes in the estimate 
of liabilities and future expenses 

Total other income was $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, driven by a reduction in the actuarially 
estimated ultimate net liabilities as a result of a decline in mesothelioma filings.

Total other income was $100 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and was driven by a reduction in the 
actuarially  estimated  ultimate  net  liabilities  as  a  result  of  a  lower  than  expected  number  of  asbestos  claims  filed 
against  us,  lower  than  expected  paid  indemnity  and  defense  costs,  and  the  net  collection  of  disputed  insurance 
recoveries.

Methodologies for determining liabilities

Defendant Asbestos Liabilities

We  review,  on  an  ongoing  basis,  our  own  experience  in  handling  asbestos-related  claims  and  trends  affecting 
asbestos-related  claims  in  the  U.S.  tort  system  generally,  for  the  purposes  of  assessing  the  value  of  pending 
asbestos-related claims and the number and value of those that may be asserted in the future, as well as potential 
recoveries from our insurance carriers with respect to such claims and defense costs. 

The actuarial analysis for these asbestos-related exposures utilizes data resulting from claim experience, including 
input  from  national  coordinating  counsel  and  local  counsel,  and  includes  the  development  of  an  estimate  of  the 
potential value of asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved as well as the number and potential value of 
asbestos-related claims not yet asserted. 

In developing the estimate of liability for potential future claims, the actuarial methods project the potential number 
of  future  claims  based  on  our  historical  claim  filings  and  health  studies.  The  actuarial  methods  also  utilize 
assumptions based on our historical proportion of claims resolved without payment, historical claim resolution costs 
for those claims that result in a payment, and historical defense costs. The liabilities are estimated by using pending 
and projected future claim filings, projected payments rates, average claim resolution amounts and an estimate for 
defense costs, which is derived based on assumptions relating to defense costs to indemnity cost ratios. We utilize 
judgment when determining the assumptions related to projected future claims filings, projected payment rates and 
estimated defense costs.

We determine, based on the factors described above, including the actuarial analysis, that their best estimate of the 
aggregate  liability  both  for  asbestos-related  claims  asserted  but  not  yet  resolved  and  potential  asbestos-related

claims not yet asserted, including estimated defense costs, was $786 million and $826 million as of December 31, 
2022 and 2021, respectively. 

Defendant Environmental Liabilities

As a result of our acquisition of DCo and Morse TEC, we have been identified by the United States Environmental 
Protection  Agency  and  certain  U.S.  state  environmental  agencies  and  private  parties  as  potentially  responsible 
parties  ("PRP")  at  various  hazardous  waste  disposal  sites  under  the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") and equivalent U.S. state laws. 

The  PRPs  may  currently  be  liable  for  the  cost  of  clean-up  and  other  remedial  activities  at  27  such  sites. 
Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based 
on an allocation formula.  

We  have  a  liability  for  defendant  environmental  liabilities  of  $10  million  and  $11  million  as  of  December  31,  2022 
and 2021, respectively. The estimate for defendant environmental liabilities is based on information available to us, 
including  an  estimate  of  the  allocation  of  liability  among  PRPs,  the  probability  that  other  PRPs  will  pay  the  cost 
apportioned  to  them,  currently  available  information  from  PRPs  and/or  federal  or  state  environmental  agencies 
concerning  the  scope  of  contamination  and  estimated  remediation  and  consulting  costs,  and  remediation 
alternatives. 

Allowance for Estimated Uncollectible Insurance Balances Recoverable on Defendant Asbestos Liabilities

We  maintained  a  beginning  and  ending  allowance  for  estimated  uncollectible  insurance  balances  related  to  our 
defendant asbestos liabilities of $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  we  did  not  have  any  new  provisions,  write-offs  charged 
against the allowance for estimated uncollectible insurance or any recoveries of amounts previously written off. 

We did not have significant non-disputed past due balances receivable from our insurers related to our defendant 
asbestos  liabilities,  that  were  older  than  one  year  for  any  of  the  periods  presented. Any  balances  that  are  part  of 
ongoing legal activity are estimated to be recovered at the level of our recorded asset which is consistent with our 
legal advice and past collection experience.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the "exit 
price") in an orderly transaction between market participants. We use a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest 
priority  to  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  and  the  lowest  priority  to  unobservable  data.  The  hierarchy  is  broken 
down into three levels as follows:

•

•

•

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that we have the ability to access for 
identical assets or liabilities. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for 
identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or significant inputs that are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield 
curves,  prepayment  speeds,  default  rates,  loss  severities,  etc.)  or  can  be  corroborated  by  observable  market 
data.

Level  3  -  Valuations  based  on  unobservable  inputs  where  there  is  little  or  no  market  activity.  Unadjusted  third 
party pricing sources or management's assumptions and internal valuation models may be used to determine the 
fair values.

In addition, certain of our other investments are measured at fair value using net asset value ("NAV") per share (or 
its equivalent) as a practical expedient and have not been classified within the fair value hierarchy above.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Short-term and Fixed Maturity Investments

The fair values for all securities in the short-term and fixed maturity investments and funds held - directly managed 
portfolios  are  obtained  or  validated  from  independent  pricing  services  either  directly  or  through  our  accounting 
service provider or investment managers. 

We record the unadjusted price and validate this price through a process that includes, but is not limited to: 

i.

comparison of prices against alternative pricing sources; 

ii. quantitative analysis (e.g. comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark); 

iii. evaluation of methodologies used by external parties to estimate fair value, including a review of the inputs used 

for pricing; and 

iv. comparing the price to our knowledge of the current investment market. 

Our  internal  price  validation  procedures  and  review  of  fair  value  methodology  documentation  provided  by 
independent  pricing  services  have  not  historically  resulted  in  adjustment  in  the  prices  obtained  from  the  pricing 
service. 

The independent pricing services used by our service providers obtain actual transaction prices for securities that 
have quoted prices in active markets. Where we utilize single unadjusted broker-dealer quotes, they are generally 
provided by market makers or broker-dealers who are recognized as market participants in the markets for which 
they are providing the quotes.  

For  determining  the  fair  value  of  securities  that  are  not  actively  traded,  in  general,  pricing  services  use  "matrix 
pricing"  in  which  the  independent  pricing  service  uses  observable  market  inputs  including,  but  not  limited  to, 
reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, interest rates, prepayment speeds, default rates and other 
such inputs as are available from market sources to determine a reasonable fair value. 

The  following  describes  the  techniques  generally  used  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  our  short-term  and  fixed 
maturity investments by asset class, including the investments underlying the funds held - directly managed.

•

•

U.S. and non-U.S. government and agency securities consist of securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and 
mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan 
Mortgage Corporation and other agencies, or consist of bonds issued by non-U.S. governments and agencies 
along  with  supranational  organizations.  The  significant  inputs  used  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  these 
securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These 
are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified 
as Level 2. 

Corporate  securities  consist  primarily  of  investment-grade  debt  of  a  wide  variety  of  corporate  issuers  and 
industries. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve, 
reported  trades,  broker-dealer  quotes,  benchmark  yields,  and  industry  and  market  indicators.  These  are 
considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2. 

• Municipal securities consist primarily of bonds issued by U.S.-domiciled state and municipal entities. The fair 
values  of  these  securities  are  determined  using  the  spread  above  the  risk-free  yield  curve,  reported  trades, 
broker-dealer quotes and benchmark yields. These are considered observable market inputs and therefore the 
fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2.

•

Asset-backed and commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities consist primarily of investment-
grade  bonds  backed  by  pools  of  loans  with  a  variety  of  underlying  collateral.  Residential  and  commercial 
mortgage-backed  securities  include  both  agency  and  non-agency  originated  securities.  The  significant  inputs 
used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported 
trades,  benchmark  yields,  prepayment  speeds  and  default  rates.  These  are  considered  observable  market 
inputs and therefore the fair value of these securities are classified as Level 2.

Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements

•

Structured products consist of funds withheld securities which are utilized to achieve asset-liability matching 
requirements and to reduce our exposure to credit risk. We utilize observable benchmark yields, issue spreads, 
issuer credit ratings, loss given default rates, and probability of default rates to discount the future cash flows to 
derive the fair value of these investments. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the 
fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2.

Equities

Our investments in equities consist of a combination of publicly traded and privately held investments. Our publicly 
traded  equity  investments  in  common  and  preferred  stocks  predominantly  trade  on  major  exchanges  and  are 
managed by our external advisors. Our exchange-traded funds also trade on major exchanges. 

Our publicly traded equities are widely diversified and there is no significant concentration in any specific industry. 
We  use  an  internationally  recognized  pricing  service  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  our  publicly  traded  equities  and 
exchange-traded  funds.  We  have  categorized  the  majority  of  our  publicly  traded  equity  investments,  other  than 
preferred  stock,  and  our  exchange-traded  funds  as  Level  1  investments  because  the  fair  values  of  these 
investments  are  based  on  unadjusted  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets.  Two  equity  securities 
trade  in  an  inactive  market  and,  as  a  result  have  been  classified  as  Level  2.  The  fair  value  estimates  of  our 
investments  in  publicly  traded  preferred  stock  are  based  on  observable  market  data  and,  as  a  result,  have  been 
categorized as Level 2.

Our privately held equity investments in common and preferred stocks are direct investments in companies that we 
believe offer attractive risk adjusted returns and/or offer other strategic advantages. Each investment may have its 
own unique terms and conditions and there may be restrictions on disposals. The market for these investments is 
illiquid and there is no active market. For the majority of these we use a combination of cost, internal models and  
reported values from co-investors/managers to calculate the fair value of the privately held equity investments. The 
fair value estimates of these are based on unobservable market data so have been categorized as Level 3. We also 
have  one  direct  investment  in  the  equity  of  a  privately  held  business  development  company  which  values  its 
underlying  investments  using  NAV  as  a  practical  expedient;  therefore,  the  investment  has  not  been  categorized 
within the fair value hierarchy.   

Other investments, at fair value

We have ongoing due diligence processes with respect to the other investments carried at fair value in which we 
invest, including active discussions with managers of the investments. These processes are designed to assist us in 
assessing  the  quality  of  information  provided  by,  or  on  behalf  of,  each  fund  and  in  determining  whether  such 
information continues to be reliable or whether further review is warranted. 

Certain funds do not provide full transparency of their underlying holdings; however, we obtain the audited financial 
statements  for  funds  annually  and  review  the  audited  results  relative  to  the  net  asset  values  provided  by  the 
managers,  and  regularly  review  and  discuss  the  fund  performance  with  the  fund  managers  to  corroborate  the 
reasonableness of the reported NAV. 

The use of NAV as an estimate of the fair value for investments in certain entities that calculate NAV is a permitted 
practical expedient. Due to the time lag in the NAV reported by certain fund managers we adjust the valuation for 
capital calls and distributions. Other investments measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient have 
not  been  classified  in  the  fair  value  hierarchy.  Other  investments  for  which  we  do  not  use  NAV  as  a  practical 
expedient have been valued using prices from independent pricing services and investment managers.

The following describes the techniques generally used to determine the fair value of our other investments.

•

For  our  investments  in  hedge  funds,  private  equity  funds,  CLO  equity  funds,  private  credit  funds  and  the  real 
estate debt fund, we primarily measure fair value by obtaining the most recently available NAV as advised by 
the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The fair values of these investments are measured using 
the NAV as a practical expedient and therefore have not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy. 

• Our  investments  in  fixed  income  funds  and  equity  funds  are  valued  based  on  a  combination  of  prices  from 
independent  pricing  services,  external  fund  managers  or  third-party  administrators.  For  the  publicly  available 
prices we have classified the investments as Level 2. For the non-publicly available prices we are using NAV as 
a practical expedient and therefore these have not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements

• We  measure  the  fair  value  of  our  direct  investment  in  CLO  equities  based  on  valuations  provided  by 
independent pricing services. The fair values measured using prices provided by independent pricing services 
have been classified as Level 2. 

Insurance Contracts - Fair Value Option

The Company uses an internal model to calculate the fair value of the liability for losses and LAE and reinsurance 
balances  recoverable  on  paid  and  unpaid  losses  for  certain  retroactive  reinsurance  contracts  where  we  have 
elected the fair value option. 

The fair value was calculated as the aggregate of discounted cash flows plus a risk margin. The discounted cash 
flow approach uses: 

i.

estimated  nominal  cash  flows  based  upon  an  appropriate  payment  pattern  developed  in  accordance  with 
actuarial methods; and 

ii. a discount rate based upon a high quality rated corporate bond yield plus a credit spread for non-performance 

risk. 

The model uses corporate bond rates across the yield curve depending on the estimated timing of the future cash 
flows and specific to the currency of the risk. 

The risk margin was calculated using the present value of the cost of capital. The cost of capital approach uses:

i.

projected capital requirements; 

ii. multiplied  by  the  risk  cost  of  capital  representing  the  return  required  for  non-hedgeable  risk  based  upon  the 

weighted average cost of capital less investment income; and 

iii. discounted using the weighted average cost of capital.

Derivative Instruments

The  fair  values  of  our  derivative  instruments  are  classified  as  Level  2.  The  fair  values  are  based  upon  prices  in 
active markets for identical contracts.

Funds Held by Reinsured Companies

The fair value of the embedded derivative representing the contractually agreed variable return on the funds held by 
reinsured companies associated with the Aspen LPT transaction is classified as Level 3 and is calculated using an 
internal model. 

The fair value is calculated as the difference between:

i.

ii.

the  present  value  of  all  future  expected  interest  payments  based  on  the  full  crediting  rate,  calculated  using  a 
Monte Carlo simulation model; and 

the present value of all future expected interest payments based on the base crediting rate, calculated using a 
discounted cash flow model.  

The Monte Carlo simulation model uses:

i.

a continuous forward risk-free rate commensurate with the crediting interest rate period (observable); and

ii. an estimated historical volatility rate based upon the annualized standard deviation of daily log returns observed 
on  a  portfolio  replicating  the  Aspen  investment  portfolio  over  a  period  commensurate  with  the  crediting  rate 
period (unobservable).

The discounted cash flow model uses: 

i.

estimated expected loss payments based upon an appropriate payment pattern developed in accordance with 
standard actuarial techniques (unobservable); 

ii. a risk-free rate based on U.S. treasury rates as of the valuation date (observable); and 

iii. a  credit  spread  based  upon  the  historical  option  adjusted  spread  of  the Aspen  publicly  traded  corporate  debt 

instrument (observable).

Funds Held by Reinsured Companies - Embedded Derivative

During the second quarter of 2022, we recognized an embedded derivative in relation to the Aspen LPT transaction 
to account for the fair value of the full crediting rate we expect to earn on the funds withheld received as premium 
consideration.

The fair value of the liability for losses and LAE and reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses 
may increase or decrease due to changes in the corporate bond rate, the credit spread for non-performance risk, 
the risk cost of capital, the weighted average cost of capital and the estimated payment pattern.

In addition, the estimate of the capital required to support the liabilities is based upon current industry standards for 
capital adequacy.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 14 - Variable Interest Entities

Table of Contents

14. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We have investments in certain limited partnership funds which are deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIEs"). 
The  activities  of  these  VIEs  are  generally  limited  to  holding  investments  and  our  involvement  in  these  entities  is 
passive in nature. We consolidate all VIEs in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary.

GCM Fund

In July 2022, we entered into an agreement to become a limited partner of GCM Blue Sails Infrastructure Offshore 
Opportunities  Fund,  L.P.  (“GCM  Fund”),  with  an  initial  commitment  of  $150  million. At  that  time,  we  performed  an 
assessment  and  concluded  that  as  a  result  of  being  a  limited  partner  and  having  no  substantive  kick-out  or 
participating rights, the GCM Fund is a VIE. We also concluded that we are the primary beneficiary, as our 99.5% 
economic interest in the GCM Fund is disproportionately greater than our lack of stated power to direct the activities 
of the GCM Fund that will most significantly impact the GCM Fund’s economic performance. As a result, we have 
consolidated the results of the GCM Fund. There was no gain or loss recognized on consolidation. 

We  have  elected  to  recognize  the  results  of  the  GCM  Fund  on  a  one  quarter  lag  due  to  anticipated  delays  in 
obtaining  timely  financial  information.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  $14  million  of  the  initial  commitment  has  been 
called. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the GCM Fund are presented within existing captions on 
our  consolidated  balance  sheet  as  of  December  31,  2022.  Net  investment  income,  changes  in  the  fair  value  of 
assets  and  liabilities  of  the  GCM  Fund  and  management  fees  will  be  presented  within  existing  captions  in  the 
consolidated statements of earnings. Such amounts are immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Our exposure to risk of loss is limited to the amount of our investment, in accordance with the limited partnership 
agreement.  We  have  not  committed  to  provide  any  financial  support  to  the  general  partner  of  the  GCM  Fund.  In 
addition, we have not committed to provide any additional financial support to the GCM Fund in excess of previously 
funded capital commitments and all undistributed profits and income.  

The assets of Enstar are not available to the creditors of the GCM Fund. 

InRe Fund

During 2021, we redeemed an aggregate of $2.7 billion and completed the liquidation of our investment in the InRe 
Fund.

On April 1, 2021, we obtained control of the InRe Fund following redemption by the general partner, an affiliate of 
Hillhouse  Group,  of  all  of  its  outstanding  ownership  interests  and  the  termination  of  its  investment  management 
activities. From that date we had both full ownership of the InRe Fund and the power to direct its activities, which led 
to our determination to consolidate the InRe Fund. 

Prior  to  consolidation,  our  investment  in  the  InRe  Fund  was  recorded  at  fair  value  using  the  NAV  as  a  practical 
expedient, with any changes included within net unrealized gains in the consolidated statements of earnings. Thus, 
there was no gain or loss upon consolidation. 

During the year ended December 31, 2021 we recognized net investment expenses for the InRe Fund of $13 million 
and net realized losses of $58 million (as all investments were redeemed and liquidated during the year subsequent 
to consolidation).

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized net unrealized gains of $1.2 billion as we accounted for 
this investment at NAV, with all changes in NAV (which would have included all income and expenses of the InRe 
Fund) within net unrealized gains. 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, our consolidated statements of cash flows included net operating cash 
flows  of  $2.1  billion  attributed  to  the  InRe  Fund  driven  by  net  sales  of  trading  securities,  partially  offset  by  net 
payments  to  cover  securities  sold  short,  and  net  investing  cash  flows  of  $574  million  resulting  from  the  initial 
consolidation of the InRe Fund's cash and restricted cash balances. 

Summarized Financial Information 

Prior  to  consolidating  the  InRe  Fund,  total  income,  expenses  and  net  income  (including  Enstar’s  and  Hillhouse’s 
combined  interests)  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2021  was  $311  million,  $19  million  and  $292  million, 
respectively. Total income, expenses and net income for the InRe Fund for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 
$1.7 billion, $31 million and $1.7 billion, respectively. Enstar recognized $77 million and $1.2 billion of net unrealized

Gross  premiums  written  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2022  and  2021  decreased  by  $81  million  and  $446 
million, respectively, primarily due to our strategic exit from our active underwriting platforms beginning in 2020.

16. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

We  have  goodwill  of  $63  million  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021  that  was  included  within  other  assets  in  the 
consolidated balance sheets. There were no changes in this balance for each of the three years ended December 
31, 2022. We have no other intangible assets in any of the periods presented within these financial statements. 

As  part  of  our  annual  assessment  of  goodwill,  we  have  considered  the  net  loss  attributable  to  Enstar  ordinary 
shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was driven by net unrealized losses, primarily related to 
fixed  income  securities,  as  a  result  of  rising  interest  rates  and  widening  credit  spreads.  While  we  expect  global 
financial markets to remain volatile into 2023, we expect that unrealized losses on our fixed maturity assets will be 
recouped as these assets get closer to their maturity and the prices pull to par. Therefore, we have concluded that 
the net loss attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 is not an indicator of 
goodwill impairment.

months and six months, respectively, prior to maturity, subject to the payment of a make-whole premium. After such 
respective date, we may repurchase the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2031 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 
100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In each case, any such repurchases 
are also subject to satisfying certain regulatory requirements. 

Subordinated Notes

The 2040 Junior Subordinated Notes are unsecured junior subordinated obligations of Enstar Finance LLC (“Enstar 
Finance”).  The  2040  Junior  Subordinated  Notes  are  fully  and  unconditionally  guaranteed  by  us  on  an  unsecured 
and  junior  subordinated  basis.  These  debt  securities  of  Enstar  Finance  are  effectively  subordinated  to  the 
obligations of our other subsidiaries.

The 2040 Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest (i) during the initial five-year period ending August 30, 2025, at a 
fixed rate per annum of 5.75% and (ii) during each five-year reset period thereafter beginning September 1, 2025, at

a  fixed  rate  per  annum  equal  to  the  five-year  U.S.  treasury  rate  calculated  as  of  two  business  days  prior  to  the 
beginning of such five-year period plus 5.468%. 

Subject  to  certain  threshold  regulatory  requirements  and  during  certain  time  periods,  Enstar  Finance  may 
repurchase the 2040 Junior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a repurchase price equal to at 
least 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Debt Issuance

In  January  2022,  our  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Enstar  Finance,  completed  the  issuance  and  sale  of  a  series  of 
junior  subordinated  notes  due  2042  (the  "2042  Junior  Subordinated  Notes")  for  an  aggregate  principal  amount  of 
$500 million. The 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest (i) during the initial five-year period ending January 
14, 2027, at a fixed rate per annum of 5.50% and (ii) during each five-year reset period thereafter beginning January 
15, 2027, at a fixed rate per annum equal to the five-year U.S. treasury rate calculated as of two business days prior 
to the beginning of such five-year period plus 4.006%.

The 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes are unsecured junior subordinated obligations of Enstar Finance, are fully and 
unconditionally  guaranteed  by  us  on  an  unsecured  and  junior  subordinated  basis,  and  are  contractually 
subordinated in right of payment to the existing and future obligations of our other subsidiaries (other than Enstar 
Finance).

The 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes are exclusively the obligations of Enstar Finance and us, to the extent of the 
guarantee, and are not guaranteed by any of our other subsidiaries, which are separate and distinct legal entities 
and, except for Enstar Finance, have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay holders any amounts due on the 
2042  Junior  Subordinated  Notes  or  to  make  any  funds  available  for  payment  on  the  2042  Junior  Subordinated 
Notes, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. 

Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of 
the then outstanding 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes may declare the principal and accrued and unpaid interest on 
all of the then outstanding 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes to be due and payable immediately. 

Subject to threshold regulatory requirements, Enstar Finance may repurchase the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes, 
in whole or in part, at any time during a par call period, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount 
of  such  notes,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid  interest,  and  at  any  time  not  during  a  par  call  period,  plus  an  additional 
"make-whole" premium.

We incurred costs of $7 million in issuing the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes. The net proceeds of the 2042 Junior 
Subordinated Notes were partially used to fund the payment at maturity of the outstanding $280 million aggregate 
principal amount of our 2022 Senior Notes. 

Debt Repayment

In September 2022, we repaid Enhanzed Re's $70 million of Subordinated Notes due 2031 that had been issued to 
an  affiliate  of Allianz.  We  also  recognized  a  gain  on  extinguishment  of  $6  million  as  a  result  of  accelerating  the 
amortization of the remaining fair value adjustment, which was included within interest expense in our consolidated 
statements of earnings. 

Maturities

As of December 31, 2022, there are no outstanding debt obligations that will become due in each of the next five 
years. Our debt of $1.9 billion upon maturity becomes due in periods beyond five years from December 31, 2022.

EGL Revolving Credit Facility

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  were  permitted  to  borrow  up  to  an  aggregate  amount  of  $600  million  under  our 
unsecured  revolving  credit  agreement.  We  may  request  additional  commitments  under  the  facility  up  to  an 
additional  $400  million,  which  the  existing  lenders  in  their  discretion  or  new  lenders  may  provide,  in  each  case 
subject  to  the  terms  of  the  agreement.  To  date,  we  have  not  requested  any  additional  commitments  under  the 
facility. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  there  was  $600  million  of  available  unutilized  capacity  under  the  facility.  In  the  fourth 
quarter of 2022, we borrowed and fully repaid $55 million of loans under our revolving credit facility.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 17 - Debt Obligations and Credit Facilities

We pay interest on loans borrowed under the facility at a per annum rate comprising a reference rate determined 
based  on  the  type  of  loan  we  borrow  plus  a  margin  based  on  our  long  term  senior  unsecured  debt  ratings.  The 
applicable reference rate is adjusted base rate for base rate loans, adjusted daily Sterling Overnight Index Average 
("SONIA")  for  SONIA  loans  and  adjusted  LIBOR  or  adjusted  Euribor  for  Eurocurrency  rate  loans  denominated  in 
U.S.  dollars  or  Euros,  respectively.  The  applicable  margin  varies  based  upon  changes  to  our  long  term  senior 
unsecured debt ratings assigned by S&P or Fitch. 

We pay interest quarterly for base rate loans and as frequently as monthly for SONIA loans and Eurocurrency rate 
loans,  depending  on  the  applicable  interest  period.  We  also  pay  a  commitment  fee  based  on  the  average  daily 
unutilized capacity under the facility. If an event of default occurs, the interest rate may increase and the agent may, 
and at the request of the required lenders shall, terminate lender commitments and demand early repayment of any 
outstanding loans borrowed under the facility.

Credit and Deposit Facilities

We  utilize  unsecured  and  secured  letters  of  credit  ("LOCs")  and  a  deposit  facility  to  support  certain  of  our 
(re)insurance  performance  obligations.  We  also  utilize  unsecured  LOCs  to  support  the  regulatory  capital 
requirements of certain of our subsidiaries.

(1) We may request additional commitments under the facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed this amount.
(2) The FAL LOC facility will expire on September 30, 2024, with an option to extend the termination date to September 30, 2025. The FAL Deposit 
Facility will expire May 6, 2023. Under the FAL Deposit facility, a third-party lender deposits a requested market valuation amount of eligible 
securities  into  Lloyd’s  on  behalf  of  our  Lloyd’s  corporate  member. As  of  December  31,  2022  and  December  31,  2021,  our  combined  FAL 
comprised cash and investments of $455 million (including $90 million provided under the FAL Deposit Facility) and $520 million (including $89 
million provided under the FAL Deposit Facility), respectively, and unsecured LOCs of $135 million and $210 million, respectively.

(3) The LOC was terminated during the year ended December 31, 2022.
(4) The LOC issued under this facility qualifies as Eligible Capital for one of our Bermuda regulated subsidiaries. 
(5) The LOC issued under this facility qualifies as Ancillary Own Funds capital for one of our U.K. regulated subsidiaries. 

We  also  utilize  secured  operating  LOCs. As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the  total  balance  of  such  secured 
operating LOCs issued and outstanding was $83 million and $85 million, respectively.

18. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS 

We have both redeemable noncontrolling interests ("RNCI") and noncontrolling interests ("NCI") on our consolidated 
balance sheets. RNCI with redemption features that are not solely within our control is classified within temporary 
equity in the consolidated balance sheets and carried at fair value. The change in fair value is recognized through 
retained earnings. NCI, which is carried at book value, does not have redemption features and is classified within 
equity in the consolidated balance sheets. 

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of the equity attributable to the RNCI 
for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

The RNCI as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 relates to StarStone International. 

Noncontrolling Interests

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $96 million and $230 million, respectively, of NCI primarily related to 
external interests in three of our subsidiaries, including Enhanzed Re. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending 
carrying  amount  of  the  equity  attributable  to  NCI  is  included  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  changes  in 
shareholder's equity.

On December 28, 2022, Enhanzed Re repurchased the entire 24.9% ownership interest Allianz held in Enhanzed 
Re  for  $174  million38.  We  will  reflect  the  impact  of  reclassifying  the  carrying  value  of  the  NCI  obtained  to  Enstar 
shareholders’  equity  in  our  first  quarter  2023  results,  as  we  report  the  results  of  Enhanzed  Re  on  a  one  quarter 
reporting lag.

per ordinary share of $145.87, for an aggregate price of $26 million. The 2020 Repurchase Program was terminated in July 2021.

(2) Our Board approved an ordinary share repurchase program in November 2021 (the “2021 Repurchase Program”), not to exceed $100 million 

in aggregate. The 2021 Repurchase Program was fully utilized as of April 2022.

(3) In May 2022, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our ordinary shares (the “2022 Repurchase Program”), which is 
effective through May 5, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the remaining capacity under the 2022 Repurchase Program was $95 million.

In May 2022, we entered into two share repurchase agreements in relation to our 2022 Repurchase Program. The 
first was with Trident Public Equity LP, an affiliate of Stone Point, to repurchase 89,790 of our ordinary shares for an 
aggregate price of $20 million. The second was with an unaffiliated institutional shareholder, to repurchase 380,407 
shares for an aggregate price of $85 million. Both transactions were priced at $222.74 per share, representing a 5% 
discount to the closing price of our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ stock market on May 9, 2022. 

Strategic Share Repurchases

In  July  2021,  we  repurchased  3,749,400  of  our  ordinary  shares,  comprising  (a)  1,747,840  of  our  voting  ordinary 
shares,  (b)  1,496,321  of  our  Series  C  non-voting  ordinary  shares,  and  (c)  505,239  of  our  Series  E  non-voting 
ordinary shares, held by funds managed by Hillhouse Group (the “Hillhouse Funds”), a related party, for a price of 
$234.52 per share, totaling $879 million in aggregate. The shares represented the Hillhouse Funds' entire interest in 
Enstar, which constituted 16.9% of our total ordinary shares and 9.4% of our voting ordinary shares. 

Joint Share Ownership Plan

In January 2020, 565,630 voting ordinary shares were issued to the trustee of the Enstar Group Limited Employee 
Benefit  Trust  (the  "EB  Trust").  Voting  rights  in  respect  of  shares  held  in  the  EB  Trust  have  been  contractually 
waived. We have consolidated the EB Trust, and shares held in the EB Trust are classified like treasury shares as 
contra-equity  in  our  consolidated  balance  sheet.  The  EB  Trust  supports  awards  made  under  our  Joint  Share 
Ownership Plan39.

Non-Voting Ordinary Shares

Our non-voting ordinary shares comprised several different series as of December 31, 2022: 

The Series C shares: 

i.

have all of the economic rights (including dividend rights) attaching to voting ordinary shares but are non-voting 
except in certain limited circumstances; 

ii. will  automatically  convert  at  a  one-for-one  exchange  ratio  (subject  to  adjustment  for  share  splits,  dividends, 
recapitalizations,  consolidations  or  similar  transactions)  into  voting  ordinary  shares  if  the  registered  holder 
transfers them in a widely dispersed offering; 

iii. may only vote on certain limited matters that would constitute a variation of class rights and as required under 

Bermuda law; and 

iv.

require  the  registered  holders’  written  consent  in  order  to  vary  the  rights  of  the  shares  in  a  significant  and 
adverse manner. 

The Series D shares are authorized, but no shares in these series are issued and outstanding. Holders of the Series 
C  shares  have  the  right  to  convert  such  shares,  on  a  share-for-share  basis,  subject  to  certain  adjustments,  into 
Series  D  shares  at  their  option.  There  is  no  economic  difference  in  Series  C  or  D  shares,  but  there  are  slight 
differences in the conversion rights and the limited voting rights of each series.

The Series E shares have substantially the same rights as the Series C shares, except that:

i.

ii.

they are convertible only into voting ordinary shares; and 

they may only vote as required under Bermuda law. 

The Series E shares include all other non-voting ordinary shares authorized under our bye-laws but not classified as 
Series C or D non-voting ordinary shares.

Preferred Shares

Series C Preferred Shares

As of December 31, 2022, there were 388,571 Series C participating non-voting perpetual preferred shares ("Series 
C Preferred Shares") issued and held by one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. 

39 As described in Note 21.

Table of Contents

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 19 - Shareholders' Equity

The Series C Preferred Shares: 

i.

upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, entitle their holders to a preference over holders of 
our  ordinary  voting  and  non-voting  shares  of  an  amount  equal  to  $0.001  per  share  with  respect  to  surplus 
assets; and 

ii. are non-voting except in certain limited circumstances. 

The Series C Preferred shares have dividend rights equal to those of the ordinary voting shares, subject to certain 
limitations and in an amount determined by a "participation rate" that is generally reflective of the reduction in the 
number of Series C Preferred Shares issued in exchange for the previously outstanding Series A shares. 

The Series C Preferred Shares otherwise rank on parity with the ordinary voting and non-voting shares, and they 
rank  senior  to  each  other  class  or  series  of  share  capital,  unless  the  terms  of  any  such  class  or  series  shall 
expressly provide otherwise.

Series D Preferred Shares

In June 2018, the Company raised $400 million of gross proceeds through the public offering of 16,000 shares of its 
7.00%  non-cumulative  fixed-to-floating  rate  Series  D  perpetual  preferred  shares  ("Series  D  Preferred  Shares") 
(equivalent to 16,000,000 depositary shares, each of which represents a 1/1,000th interest in a Series D Preferred 
Share), $1.00 par value and $25,000 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share). 
The depositary shares are listed and trade under the "ESGRP" ticker symbol on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. 

The Series D Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to September 1, 2028, except in specified circumstances 
as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. On and after September 1, 2028, the Series D 
Preferred Shares, represented by the depositary shares, will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or 
from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per Series D Preferred Share (equivalent to $25.00 
per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends. 

Series E Preferred Shares

On November 2018, the Company raised $110 million of gross proceeds through the public offering of 4,400 shares 
of its 7.00% fixed rate non-cumulative Series E perpetual preferred shares ("Series E Preferred Shares") (equivalent 
to 4,400,000 depositary shares, each of which represents a 1/1,000th interest in a Series E Preferred Share), $1.00 
par value and $25,000 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share). The depositary 
shares are listed and trade under the "ESGRO" ticker symbol on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. 

The  Series  E  Preferred  Shares  are  not  redeemable  prior  to  March  1,  2024,  except  in  specified  circumstances  as 
described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. On and after March 1, 2024, the Series E Preferred 
Shares, represented by the depositary shares, will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or from time to 
time  in  part,  at  a  redemption  price  equal  to  $25,000  per  Series  E  Preferred  Share  (equivalent  to  $25.00  per 
depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends. 

Dividends on Preferred Shares

Holders  of  Series  D  and  Series  E  Preferred  Shares  are  entitled  to  receive,  only  when,  as  and  if  declared,  non-
cumulative cash dividends, paid quarterly in arrears on the 1st day of March, June, September and December of 
each year, of 7.00% per annum. 

Commencing  on  September  1,  2028,  the  Series  D  Preferred  Shares  will  convert  to  a  floating  rate  basis  and 
dividends will be payable on a non-cumulative basis, when, as and if declared, at an alternative reference rate (with 
spread adjustment) to three-month LIBOR, as determined by the calculation agent consistent with accepted market

(1) Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders equals net earnings from continuing operations, plus net 

(earnings) loss from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interest, less dividends on preferred shares.

(2) Net earnings from discontinued operations attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders equals net earnings from discontinued operations, net 

of income taxes, plus net (earnings) from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interest41. 

(3) Weighted-average ordinary shares for basic earnings per share includes ordinary shares (voting and non-voting) but excludes ordinary shares 

held in the EB Trust in respect of JSOP awards.

(4)  Share-based  dilutive  securities  include  restricted  shares,  restricted  share  units,  and  performance  share  units.  Certain  share-based 
compensation awards were excluded from the calculation for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 because they were anti-dilutive. 
The ordinary shares held in the EB Trust in respect of the JSOP awards were also excluded because they are treated as held in treasury. 

(5) Warrants to acquire 175,901 Series C Non-Voting Ordinary Shares for an exercise price of $115.00 per share were exercised on a non-cash 
basis during the year ended December 31, 2021, which resulted in a total of 89,590 Series C Non-Voting Ordinary Shares being issued in the 
year. As  of  December  31,  2021,  there  were  no  warrants  outstanding  following  the  exercise  described.  The  warrants  presented  in  the  table 
above are a weighted-average of the warrants outstanding for the year.

(6) During a period of loss, the basic weighted average ordinary shares outstanding is used in the denominator of the diluted loss per ordinary 

share computation as the effect of including potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

We  recognized  negative  compensation  costs  on  our  performance  share  units  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2022 as a result of reducing the estimated performance multiplier on certain of our previously granted awards. 

The associated tax benefit recorded to income tax benefit (expense) in the consolidated statements of earnings was 
less than $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $3 million for each of the years ended December 
31, 2021 and 2020.

Shares authorized for issuance as of December 31, 2022 were as follows:

1,739,654 

200,000 

Restricted shares and restricted share units are service awards that typically vest over three years. These awards 
are share-settled and are recorded in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of 
these  awards  is  measured  by  multiplying  the  number  of  shares  subject  to  the  award  by  the  closing  price  of  our 
ordinary shares on the grant date and expensed over the service period.

The unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested restricted share and restricted share unit awards as of 
December  31,  2022  was  $18  million.  This  cost  is  recognizable  over  the  next  1.6  years,  which  is  the  weighted 
average contractual life. 

Performance Share Units ("PSUs")

PSUs  are  share-settled  and  vest  following  the  end  of  the  three-year  performance  period.  The  fair  value  of  these 
awards is measured by multiplying the number of shares subject to the award by the closing price of our ordinary 
shares on the grant date and considering any performance related adjustments. The number of shares to vest will 
be determined by a performance adjustment based on either: 

i.

the change in fully diluted book value per share ("FDBVPS") over three years; or

For  each  type  of  PSU  based  on  FDBVPS,  a  change  in  the  FDBVPS  Performance  Criteria  at  each  of  Threshold, 
Target  and  Maximum  will  result  in  the  application  of  the  respective Threshold, Target  and  Maximum  Performance 
Multiplier and a settlement of awards at that level. In addition, for the 2020 FDBVPS Type II award, a change in the 
FDBVPS  Performance  Criteria  at  "Target  +"  will  result  in  the  application  of  the  "Target  +"  Performance  Multiplier. 
Straight-line interpolation applies within these ranges, and no settlement occurs if the increase in FDBVPS is less 
than the Threshold.

Annual Operating ROE is calculated based upon the non-GAAP operating income return on opening shareholder's 
equity, excluding StarStone for the 2020 and 2019 grant years only. Average Annual Operating ROE is the sum of 
the three individual year annual operating ROE %'s divided by three. An Average Annual Operating ROE of Target 
to Maximum or more results in a settlement of 100.0% to a maximum of 150.0% of the units granted, respectively. 
An Average Annual Operating ROE of Threshold to Target results in a settlement of 60.0% to 100.0%. Straight-line 
interpolation  applies  within  these  ranges  and  no  settlement  occurs  if  the Average Annual  Operating  ROE  is  less 
than the Threshold.

Under  the  JSOP,  we  have  the  ability  to  make  equity  awards  to  our  U.K.-based  staff  through  which  a  recipient 
acquires jointly held interests in a set number of our voting ordinary shares together with the independent trustee of 
the EB Trust at fair market value, pursuant to the terms of a joint ownership agreement. Voting rights in respect of 
shares held in the EB Trust are contractually waived. Shares held in the EB Trust are classified as treasury shares.

In  January  2020,  a  JSOP  award  comprising  565,630  underlying  voting  ordinary  shares  was  made  to  our  Chief 
Executive  Officer  (“CEO”)  which  cliff-vests  upon  the  vesting  date.  The  value  of  the  award  at  vesting,  if  any,  is 
determined  based  on  the  price  of  our  voting  ordinary  shares  appreciating  above  a  certain  threshold  between  the 
date of grant and the vesting date. 

If the higher of the closing price per share on the vesting date and the 10-day volume weighted average price per 
share  for  the  ten  consecutive  trading  days  ending  on  the  vesting  date  (each,  the  "Market  Price")  is  equal  to  or 
greater  than  the  hurdle  price,  the  award  will  have  a  value  equal  to  the  Market  Price,  less  $205.89,  multiplied  by 
565,630. If the Market Price is less than the hurdle price on such date, the award will have no value. In addition, 
20.0%  of  the  award  is  subject  to  a  performance  condition  based  on  growth  in  FDBVPS  over  a  five  year  period 
starting January 1, 2020. 

The accounting for stock-settled JSOP awards is similar to options, whereby the grant date fair value of $14 million 
is  expensed  over  the  life  of  the  award.  To  determine  the  grant  date  fair  value  of  $24.13  per  share,  we  utilized  a 
Monte-Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions:

On July 1, 2022, the terms of the JSOP award made to our CEO were amended to extend the vesting date of the 
award from January 20, 2023 to January 20, 2025. The amendment preserved the compound annual growth used 
to  determine  the  hurdle  price  that  must  be  achieved  in  order  for  the  JSOP  award  to  vest,  which  resulted  in  an 
increase  to  the  hurdle  price  from  $266.00  to  $315.53.  A  corresponding  extension  was  made  to  the  term  of  the 
performance  condition  based  on  growth  in  FDBVPS  from  December  31,  2022  to  December  31,  2024.  All  other 
terms of the award remained the same.

The incremental fair value of the amended award on July 1, 2022 was $15 million, or $27.25 per share, which will 
be expensed over the remaining life of the award commencing from July 1, 2022. To determine the incremental fair 
value of the amended award, we utilized a Monte-Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions:

Deferred Compensation and Ordinary Share Plan for Non-Employee Directors

The number of units credited to the accounts of non-employee directors for the years ended December 31, 2022, 
2021  and  2020  under  the  Enstar  Group  Limited  Deferred  Compensation  and  Ordinary  Share  Plan  for  Non-
Employee Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") were 6,438, 5,092 and 7,204, respectively.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

We provide an Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP") whereby eligible employees may purchase Enstar shares 
at a 15.0% discount to market price, in an amount of share value limited to the lower of $21,250 or 15.0% of the 
employee's base salary. The 15.0% discount is expensed as compensation cost. The number of shares issued to 
employees under the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were 9,025, 9,432 and 16,914,

Table of Contents

22. INCOME TAXATION 

Enstar is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and under Bermuda law is not required to pay taxes in Bermuda 
based upon income or capital gains. The Company, under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966, 
is protected against any legislation that may be enacted in Bermuda which would impose any tax on profits, income, 
or gain until March 31, 2035.

We  have  foreign  operating  subsidiaries  and  branch  operations  principally  located  in  the  United  States,  United 
Kingdom,  Continental  Europe  and  Australia  that  are  subject  to  federal,  foreign,  state  and  local  taxes  in  those 
jurisdictions.  The  undistributed  earnings  from  our  foreign  subsidiaries  will  be  indefinitely  reinvested  in  those 
jurisdictions where the undistributed earnings were earned.

Deferred tax liabilities have not been accrued with respect to the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. 
Generally, when earnings are distributed as dividends, withholding taxes may be imposed by the jurisdiction of the 
paying  subsidiary.  For  our  U.S.  subsidiaries,  we  have  not  currently  accrued  any  withholding  taxes  with  respect  to 
unremitted  earnings  because,  solely  for  U.S.  Federal  income  tax  purposes,  there  are  no  accumulated  positive 
earnings  and  profits  that  could  be  subject  to  U.S.  dividend  withholding  tax.  For  our  United  Kingdom  subsidiaries, 
there are no withholding taxes imposed as a matter of U.K. domestic tax law. For our other foreign subsidiaries, an 
insignificant  amount  of  earnings  is  indefinitely  reinvested;  however,  it  would  not  be  practicable  to  compute  the 
related  amounts  of  withholding  taxes  due  to  a  variety  of  factors,  including  the  amount,  timing  and  manner  of  any 
repatriation. Because we operate in many jurisdictions, our net earnings are subject to risk due to changing tax laws 
and tax rates around the world. The current, rapidly changing economic environment may increase the likelihood of 
substantial changes to tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 22 - Income Taxation

The  actual  effective  income  tax  rate  differs  from  the  statutory  rate  of  0  percent  under  Bermuda  law  applied  to 
earnings  attributable  to  continuing  operations  before  income  taxes,  including  earnings  from  equity  method 
investments for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 as shown in the following reconciliation:

Our  effective  tax  rate  is  generally  driven  by  the  geographical  distribution  of  our  earnings  before  income  taxes 
between our taxable and non-taxable jurisdictions.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  (included  in  other  assets  and  other  liabilities,  respectively,  in  the  consolidated 
balance  sheets)  reflect  the  tax  effect  of  the  differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying  amount  and  the 
income tax bases of assets and liabilities. 

Significant  components  of  the  deferred  tax  assets  and  deferred  tax  liabilities  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021 
were as follows:

Deferred tax assets:

Net operating loss carryforwards

Capital loss carryforwards

Insurance reserves

Provisions for bad debt

Defendant A&E liabilities

Unrealized losses on investments

Lloyd’s underwriting result in future periods

Other deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets

Valuation allowance

Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance

Deferred tax liabilities:

Other deferred tax liabilities:

The U.S. and U.K. net operating loss carryforwards are also subject to certain utilization limitations and have been 
considered in management's assessment of valuation allowance.

Assessment of Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  we  had  deferred  tax  asset  valuation  allowances  of  $181  million  and  $129 
million,  respectively,  related  to  foreign  subsidiaries.  We  recorded  a  net  increase  of  $52  million  in  our  deferred  tax 
valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by an increase in deferred tax assets 
related  to  significant  pre-tax  unrealized  investment  losses  reported  in  U.S.  and  U.K.  jurisdictions,  which 
management does not believe meet the “more likely than not” realization threshold. 

The  realization  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  dependent  on  generating  sufficient  taxable  income  in  future  periods  in 
which  the  tax  benefits  are  deductible  or  creditable.  The  amount  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  considered  realizable, 
however, could be adjusted in the future if estimates of future taxable income change. 

Income  taxes  are  determined  and  assessed  jurisdictionally  by  legal  entity  or  by  filing  group.  Certain  jurisdictions 
require or allow combined or consolidated tax filings. We have estimated the future taxable income of our foreign 
subsidiaries  and  provided  a  valuation  allowance  in  respect  of  those  assets  where  we  do  not  expect  to  realize  a 
benefit.  We  have  considered  all  available  evidence  using  a  “more  likely  than  not”  standard  in  determining  the 
amount of the valuation allowance. We considered the following evidence: 

i.

ii.

net earnings or losses in recent years; 

the future sustainability and likelihood of positive net earnings of our subsidiaries; 

iii.

the carryforward periods of tax losses including the effect of reversing temporary differences; and 

iv.

tax planning strategies.

In  making  our  determination,  the  assumptions  used  in  determining  future  taxable  income  require  significant 
judgment and any changes in these assumptions could have an impact on earnings.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 22 - Income Taxation

U.S Tax Law Changes

In August 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA” or “Act”) into law. The Act includes climate 
and  energy  provisions,  extends  the  enhanced Affordable  Care Act  subsidies,  increases  IRS  enforcement  funding, 
and allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. The IRA introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum 
tax (CAMT) for corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income for any consecutive three-
tax-year period ending after December 31, 2021 and preceding the tax year exceeds $1 billion and a 1% excise tax 
on  stock  repurchases  made  by  publicly  traded  U.S.  corporations.  CAMT  and  the  stock  buyback  tax  provisions 
became effective on January 1, 2023 and are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations. 

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. There were 
no  accruals  for  the  payment  of  interest  and  penalties  related  to  income  taxes  as  of  each  of  December  31,  2022, 
2021 and 2020.

Open Tax Years

Our operating subsidiaries may be subject to examination by various tax authorities and may have different statutes 
of limitations expiration dates. Taxing authorities may propose adjustments to our income taxes. 

Listed  below  are  the  tax  years  that  remain  subject  to  examination  by  a  major  tax  jurisdiction  as  of  December  31,

impact of a $100 million deduction from amounts due to affiliates of Hillhouse Group from the InRe Fund, which had the effect of increasing our

$16 million in relation to the InRe Fund, which consisted of a $10 million minimum performance fee and operating expense reimbursements of 
$6 million. These fees were deducted from the AnglePoint HK funds’ reported net asset values and recorded as net investment expenses in 
the consolidated statements of earnings. AnglePoint HK ceased to be a related party subsequent to December 31, 2021.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 23 - Related Party Transactions

Stone Point 
In May 2022, we entered into a share purchase agreement with an affiliate of Stone Point42. 

As of December 31, 2022, investment funds managed by Stone Point own 1,546,196 of our voting ordinary shares, 
which  constitutes  9.7%  of  our  outstanding  voting  ordinary  shares.  James  D.  Carey,  a  managing  director  of  Stone 
Point, is a member of our Board.

As of December 31, 2022, investment funds managed by Stone Point have a 39.3% interest in our subsidiary SSHL 
and a 77.3% interest in Northshore43. Additional information relating to our remaining interest in Northshore is set 
forth under the heading "Northshore" below. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the RNCI on our 
balance sheet relating to these co-investment transactions was $161 million and $172 million, respectively.

We have made various investments in funds and separate accounts managed by Stone Point or affiliates of Stone 
Point,  and  we  have  also  made  direct  investments  in  entities  affiliated  with  Stone  Point.  Where  we  have  made  an 
investment in a fund, the manager of such fund generally charges certain fees to the fund, which are deducted from 
the net asset value.

We also have certain co-investments alongside Stone Point and its affiliates, including our investments in AmTrust 
and  Northshore,  which  are  described  below,  and  Mitchell  TopCo  Holdings,  the  parent  company  of  Mitchell 
International ("Mitchell"), and Genex Services in which we have invested $25 million and account for as a privately 
held equity investment. Mitchell provides third-party outsourcing managed care services to one of our subsidiaries in 
the ordinary course of its business.

Hillhouse Group

In  July  2021,  we  repurchased  the  Hillhouse  Funds’  (as  defined  below)  entire  equity  interest  in  Enstar,  and  as  a 
result the Hillhouse Group (as defined below) ceased to be a related party44.

We  have  historically  made  significant  direct  investments  in  funds  (the  "Hillhouse  Funds")  managed  by  Hillhouse 
Capital Management, Ltd. and Hillhouse Capital Advisors, Ltd. (together, "Hillhouse Group") and AnglePoint Asset 
Management Ltd., an affiliate of Hillhouse Group ("AnglePoint Cayman"). From February 2017 to February 2021, Jie 
Liu, a partner of AnglePoint HK (as defined below), served on our Board. 

In February 2021, we entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the "TRA") with the InRe Fund, Hillhouse 
Group,  AnglePoint  Cayman,  AnglePoint  Asset  Management  Limited  (“AnglePoint  HK”),  and  InRe  Fund  GP,  Ltd. 
pursuant to which we agreed to terminate certain relationships with Hillhouse and its affiliates, primarily with respect 
to the InRe Fund. 

AnglePoint  Cayman  previously  received  sub-advisory  services  with  respect  to  the  InRe  Fund  from  its  affiliate, 
AnglePoint HK, an investment advisory company licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong. 
Pursuant to the TRA, we acquired an option to buy AnglePoint HK, which we also had the right to assign to a third-
party.  In April 2021, we entered into a Designation Agreement with Jie Liu (the "Designation Agreement"), pursuant 
to which we designated Mr. Liu, an AnglePoint HK partner, as the purchaser of AnglePoint HK, and he acquired the 
company  from  an  affiliate  of  Hillhouse  Group  on  the  same  day. AnglePoint  Cayman  simultaneously  assigned  its 
investment management agreement with the InRe Fund to AnglePoint HK, at which point AnglePoint HK became a 
related party. 

As  a  result  of  the  terms  of  the  Designation Agreement,  the  InRe  Fund  qualified  as  a  VIE  and  was  consolidated 
effective April 1, 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the liquidation of our investment in the InRe 
Fund45.

On September 1, 2021, we completed the purchase of the Hillhouse Group’s entire 27.7% interest in Enhanzed Re 
for a purchase price of $217 million46.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 23 - Related Party Transactions

AnglePoint HK

In October 2021, we terminated our investment management agreement with AnglePoint HK, the InRe Fund and the 
general partner of the InRe Fund, and placed the InRe Fund into an orderly liquidation. As of December 31, 2021, 
AnglePoint HK ceased to be a related party.

Northshore

Following the completion of the Exchange Transaction47 on January 1, 2021, our equity interest in Northshore, the 
holding  company  that  owns  Atrium  and  Arden,  was  reduced  to  13.8%  from  54.1%.  We  have  accounted  for  our 
residual equity interest in Northshore as an investment in a privately held equity security at fair value.

Concurrent with the closing of the Exchange Transaction: 

•

Arden entered into an LPT retrocession agreement with one of our majority owned subsidiaries, through which 
Arden  fully  reinsured  its  run-off  portfolio  with  total  liabilities  of  $19  million  to  our  majority  owned  subsidiary,  in 
exchange for a retrocession premium consideration of an equal amount. 

Arden retained the premium under a funds held arrangement, to secure the payment obligations of our majority 
owned subsidiary.

• One  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  entered  in  a TSA  to  provide  certain  transitional  services  to  Northshore. 

The TSA was terminated in November 2022. 

•

SGL No.1 ceased its provision of underwriting capacity on Syndicate 609. We have continued to report SGL No. 
1's  25%  gross  share  of  the  2020  and  prior  underwriting  years  of  Syndicate  609  through  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2022. In 2023, the 2020 underwriting year will complete an RITC into a successor year, at which 
point the existing contractual arrangements will settle. 

There  is  no  net  retention  for  Enstar  on  Atrium's  2020  and  prior  underwriting  years  as  the  business  was 
contractually transferred to the Atrium entities that were divested in the Exchange Transaction. 

Monument Re

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  own  20.0%  of  the  common  shares  of  Monument  Re  and  24.4%  of  its  preferred 
shares,  which  is  reduced  to  13.7%  on  a  committed  capital  basis. As  of  December  31,  2022,  a  fund  managed  by 
Stone Point owns 6.7% of Monument Re’s preferred shares, which increases to 11.2% on a committed capital basis. 

In  November  2022,  we  closed  a  transaction  with  Monument  Re  to  novate  our  reinsurance  closed  block  of  life 
annuity policies written by Enhanzed Re48. A portion of the net gain on novation will be subject to deferral to account 
for  our  existing  ownership  interest  in  Monument  Re.  The  final  impact  of  the  novation  will  be  reflected  in  our  first 
quarter 2023 results, as we report the results of Enhanzed Re on a one quarter reporting lag. 

We have accounted for our investment in the common and preferred shares of Monument Re as an equity method 
investment. 

Our losses from Monument Re include an other-than-temporary impairment charge for the year ended December 
31, 2022. 

AmTrust

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we own 8.7% of the equity interest in Evergreen Parent L.P. ("Evergreen") and 
Trident  Pine  Acquisition  LP  ("Trident  Pine")  owns  22.6%.  Evergreen  owns  all  of  the  equity  interest  in  AmTrust 
Financial  Services,  Inc.  (“AmTrust").  Trident  Pine  is  an  entity  owned  by  private  equity  funds  managed  by  Stone 
Point. 

We have accounted for our investment in the shares of AmTrust as an investment in a privately held equity security 
at fair value.

Citco

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we owned 31.9% of the common shares in HH CTCO Holdings Limited, which 
in turn owns 15.4% of the convertible preferred shares, amounting to a 6.2% interest in the total equity of Citco III 
Limited ("Citco"). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Trident owned 3.4% interest in Citco.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 23 - Related Party Transactions

We have accounted for our indirect investment in the shares of Citco as an equity method investment. 

Enhanzed Re

In  September  2021  we  repurchased  the  Hillhouse  Group’s  entire  27.7%  interest  in  Enhanzed  Re  for  a  purchase 
price  of  $217  million,  assumed  its  remaining  outstanding  capital  commitment  to  Enhanzed  Re  of  $40  million,  and 
increased our equity interests in Enhanzed Re from 47.4% to 75.1%49. Upon closing, we consolidated Enhanzed Re 
(previously accounted for as an equity method investment) and as a result, it ceased to be a related party.

Core Specialty

We account for our investment in the common shares of Core Specialty as an equity method investment on a one 
quarter lag. 

We  also  have  a  LPT  and  ADC  reinsurance  agreement  and  an  ASA  between  certain  of  our  subsidiaries  and 
StarStone U.S. and Core Specialty50. The TSA was terminated in November 2022.  

Furthermore, there are existing reinsurance agreements whereby (i) certain of our subsidiaries provide reinsurance 
protection to StarStone U.S. and (ii) StarStone U.S. provides reinsurance protection to certain of our subsidiaries. 
These arrangements remain in place.

Other

We  also  have  certain  other  investments,  including  investments  in  limited  partnerships  and  partnership-like  limited 
liability companies, that had we not elected the fair value option would otherwise be accounted for as equity method 
investments51. We have disclosed our investments in these entities on an aggregated basis as they are individually 
immaterial.

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 24 - Dividend Restrictions and Statutory Financial Information

24. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION 

Parent Company Dividend Restrictions

There were no significant restrictions on the Parent Company's ability to pay dividends from retained earnings as of 
December 31, 2022. Bermuda law permits the payment of dividends if:

i) we are not, or would not be after payment, unable to pay our liabilities as they become due; and 

ii) the realizable value of our assets is in excess of our liabilities after taking such payment into account. 

We have not historically declared a dividend on our ordinary shares. The issuance of our Series D and E Preferred 
Shares have resulted in the declaration of dividends. Holders of Series D and Series E Preferred Shares are entitled 
to receive, only when, as and if declared, non-cumulative cash dividends, paid quarterly in arrears on the 1st day of 
March, June, September and December of each year of 7.0% per annum52. 

The Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") acts as group supervisor to Enstar. On an annual basis, we are required 
to file group statutory financial statements, a group statutory financial return, a group capital and solvency return, 
audited group financial statements and a Group Solvency Self-Assessment ("GSSA") with the BMA. The GSSA is 
designed to document our perspective on the capital resources necessary to achieve our business strategies and 
remain  solvent,  and  to  provide  the  BMA  with  insights  on  our  risk  management,  governance  procedures  and 
documentation related to this process. We are required to maintain available group statutory capital and surplus in 
an amount that is at least equal to the group enhanced capital requirement (“ECR”). The BMA has also established 
a group target capital level equal to 120% of the group ECR. We are in compliance with these requirements.

Our  ability  to  pay  dividends  to  our  shareholders  is  dependent  upon  the  ability  of  our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  to 
distribute  capital  and  pay  dividends  to  us.  Our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  are  subject  to  certain  regulatory 
restrictions  on  the  distribution  of  capital  and  payment  of  dividends  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  they  operate,  as 
described below. The restrictions are generally based on net income or levels of capital and surplus as determined 
in accordance with the relevant statutory accounting practices. Failure of these subsidiaries to meet their applicable 
regulatory  requirements  could  result  in  restrictions  on  any  distributions  of  capital  or  retained  earnings  or  stricter 
regulatory oversight of the subsidiaries.

Our ability to pay dividends and make other forms of distributions may also be limited by repayment obligations and 
financial covenants in our outstanding loan facility agreements.

Subsidiary Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Restrictions

Our (re)insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting 
practices  prescribed  or  permitted  by  local  regulators.  Statutory  and  local  accounting  differs  from  U.S.  GAAP, 
including in the treatment of investments, acquisition costs and deferred income taxes, amongst other items.

The  statutory  capital  and  surplus  amounts  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021  and  statutory  net  income  (loss) 
amounts  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020  for  our  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  based  in 
Bermuda,  the  United  Kingdom,  the  United  States, Australia  and  Continental  Europe  are  summarized  in  the  table

Item 8 | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 24 - Dividend Restrictions and Statutory Financial Information

As of December 31, 2022, the total amount of net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries that were restricted was 
$3.9 billion. 

Certain material aspects of these laws and regulations as they relate to solvency, dividends and capital and surplus 
are summarized below.

Bermuda

Our Bermuda-based (re)insurance subsidiaries are registered under the Insurance Act 1978 of Bermuda and related 
regulations, as amended (the "Insurance Act"). The Insurance Act imposes certain solvency and liquidity standards 
and auditing and reporting requirements and grants the BMA powers to supervise, investigate, require information 
and the production of documents and intervene in the affairs of insurance companies.

The  Insurance  Act  requires  that  our  Bermuda-based  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  maintain  certain  solvency  and 
liquidity standards. The minimum liquidity ratio requires that the value of relevant assets not be less than 75% of the 
amount of relevant liabilities. The minimum solvency margin, which varies depending on the class of the insurer, is 
determined as a percentage of either net reserves for losses and LAE or premiums. Our Bermuda subsidiaries with 
commercial insurance licenses are required to maintain a minimum statutory capital and surplus (Enhanced Capital 
Requirement  or  "ECR")  at  least  equal  to  the  greater  of  a  minimum  solvency  margin  or  the  Bermuda  Solvency 
Capital  Requirement  ("BSCR").  The  BSCR  is  calculated  based  on  a  standardized  risk-based  capital  model  as 
provided by the BMA. 

Each of our regulated Bermuda subsidiaries would be prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends if it were in 
breach  of  its  minimum  solvency  margin  or  liquidity  ratio  or  if  the  declaration  or  payment  of  such  dividends  would 
cause it to fail to meet such margin or ratio. In addition, each of our regulated Bermuda subsidiaries is prohibited, 
without the prior approval of the BMA, from reducing by 15% or more its total statutory capital, or from reducing by 
25% or more its total statutory capital and surplus, as set out in its previous year’s statutory financial statements. 
Our Bermuda (re)insurance companies that are in run-off are required to seek BMA approval for any dividends or 
distributions.

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  each  of  our  Bermuda-based  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  exceeded  their 
respective  minimum  solvency  and  liquidity  requirements.  The  Bermuda  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  in  aggregate 
exceeded minimum solvency requirements by $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2022 (2021: $2.5 billion) and were in 
compliance with their liquidity requirements.

United Kingdom

U.K. Insurance Companies (non-Lloyd's)

Our U.K. based insurance subsidiaries are regulated by the U.K. Prudential Regulatory Authority (the "PRA") and 
the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA", together with the PRA, the "U.K. Regulator").

Our U.K.-based insurance subsidiaries are required to maintain adequate financial resources in accordance with the 
requirements of the U.K. Regulator. Insurers must comply with a Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR"), which is 
calculated  using  either  the  Solvency  II  standard  formula  or  a  bespoke  internal  model.  Our  non-Lloyd's  U.K. 
companies use the standard formula for determining compliance with the SCR.

The  calculation  of  the  minimum  capital  resources  requirements  in  any  particular  case  depends  on,  among  other 
things,  the  type  and  amount  of  insurance  business  written  and  claims  paid  by  the  insurance  company.  As  of 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, all of our U.K. insurance subsidiaries maintained capital in excess of the minimum 
capital  resources  requirements  and  complied  with  the  relevant  U.K.  Regulator  requirements.  Our  U.K.-based 
insurance subsidiaries, including our Lloyd's Syndicates described below, in aggregate, maintained capital in excess 
of  the  minimum  capital  resources  requirements  by  $229  million  and  $443  million  as  of  December  31,  2022  and 
2021, respectively.

The U.K. Regulator’s rules require our U.K. insurance subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval for any proposed or 
actual payment of a dividend. The U.K. Regulator uses the SCR, among other tests, when assessing requests to 
make distributions.

Lloyd’s

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  participated  in  the  Lloyd’s  market  through  our  interests  in:  (i)  Syndicate  2008,  a 
syndicate  that  has  permission  to  underwrite  RITC  business  and  other  run-off  or  discontinued  business  type 
transactions with other Lloyd’s syndicates; (ii) Syndicate 1301 (2020 and prior underwriting years, which is managed 
by Enstar Managing Agency Limited ("EMAL") (EMAL also serves as managing agent for Syndicate 2008); and (iii) 
Atrium’s  Syndicate  609  (2020  and  prior  underwriting  years),  which  is  managed  by Atrium  Underwriters  Limited,  a 
Lloyd's managing agent.  

We  participated  on  each  of  the  three  syndicates  through  a  single,  wholly  owned  Lloyd’s  corporate  member.  On 
January  1,  2021,  we  sold  the  Atrium  business  and  on  March  15,  2021,  we  sold  the  right  to  operate  Syndicate 
130153. 

The  underwriting  capacity  of  a  member  of  Lloyd’s  is  supported  by  providing  FAL54.  Business  plans,  including 
maximum  underwriting  capacity,  for  Lloyd’s  syndicates  require  annual  approval  by  the  Lloyd’s  Franchise  Board, 
which may require changes to any business plan or additional capital to support underwriting plans.

The Lloyd’s market has applied the Solvency II internal model under Lloyd’s supervision, and our Lloyd’s operations 
are required to meet Solvency II standards. Lloyd's has the approval of the PRA to use its internal model under the 
Solvency II regime.

United States

Our U.S. Run-off (re)insurance subsidiaries are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the states in which 
they  are  domiciled,  licensed  and/or  eligible  to  conduct  business.  These  laws  restrict  the  amount  of  dividends  the 
subsidiaries  can  pay  to  us.  The  restrictions  are  generally  based  on  statutory  net  income  and/or  certain  levels  of 
statutory surplus as determined in accordance with the relevant statutory accounting requirements of the individual 
domiciliary  states  or  states  in  which  any  of  the  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  are  commercially  domiciled.  Generally, 
prior regulatory approval must be obtained before an insurer may make a distribution above a specified level.

The  U.S.  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  are  also  required  to  maintain  minimum  levels  of  solvency  and  liquidity  as 
determined by law, and to comply with Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") requirements and licensing rules as specified by 
the  National Association  of  Insurance  Commissioners  ("NAIC").  RBC  is  used  to  evaluate  the  adequacy  of  capital 
and surplus maintained by our U.S. (re)insurance subsidiaries in relation to three major risk areas associated with: 
(i) asset risk; (ii) insurance risk and (iii) other risks. For all of our U.S. (re)insurance subsidiaries, with the exception 
of  one  subsidiary  which  has  a  permitted  accounting  practice  to  treat  an  adverse  development  cover  reinsurance 
agreement  as  prospective  reinsurance,  there  are  no  prescribed  or  permitted  statutory  accounting  practices  that 
differ significantly from the statutory accounting principles established by NAIC.

As of December 31, 2022, all of our U.S. non-life (re)insurance subsidiaries exceeded their required levels of RBC. 
On  an  aggregate  basis,  our  U.S.  non-life  (re)insurance  subsidiaries  exceeded  their  minimum  levels  of  RBC  as  of 
December 31, 2022 by $273 million (2021: $383 million).

Australia

The Company’s Australian insurance subsidiary is regulated and subject to prudential supervision by the Australian 
Prudential  Regulation  Authority  (“APRA”).  APRA  is  the  primary  regulatory  body  responsible  for  regulating 
compliance  with  the  Insurance Act  1973. APRA’s  prudential  standards  require  that  all  insurers  maintain  and  meet 
prescribed  capital  adequacy  requirements  designed  to  ensure  that  insurers  to  meet  their  insurance  obligations 
under a wide range of scenarios.

A run-off insurer must obtain APRA’s written consent prior to making any capital releases, including any payment of 
dividends,  not  from  current  year  profits.  The  Company’s  insurance  subsidiary  must  provide  APRA  a  valuation 
prepared  by  its  Appointed  Actuary  that  demonstrates  that  the  tangible  assets  of  the  insurer,  after  the  proposed 
capital reduction, are sufficient to cover its insurance liabilities to a 99.5% probability of sufficiency.

Europe

Our Liechtenstein insurance subsidiary (StarStone Insurance SE) is regulated by the Liechtenstein Financial Market 
Authority ("FMA") pursuant to the Liechtenstein Insurance Supervisory Act. This subsidiary is obligated to maintain a 
minimum solvency margin based on the Solvency II regulations. As of December 31, 2022, this subsidiary exceeded 
the  Solvency  II  requirements  by  $111  million  (2021:  $57  million).  The  amount  of  dividends  that  this  subsidiary  is 
permitted  to  distribute  is  restricted  to  freely  distributable  reserves,  which  consist  of  retained  earnings,  the  current 
year profit and legal reserves. Any dividend exceeding the current year profit requires the FMA’s approval. Solvency 
and capital requirements for this subsidiary are based on the Solvency II framework and must continue to be met 
following any distribution.

Our  Belgian  insurance  subsidiary  files  financial  statements  and  returns  with  the  National  Bank  of  Belgium.  This 
subsidiary was in compliance with its solvency and capital requirements under Solvency II.

 25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  

Concentration of Credit Risk

We believe that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk associated with our cash and cash equivalents, 
fixed  maturity  investments,  or  other  investments.  Our  cash  and  investments  are  managed  pursuant  to  guidelines 
that  follow  prudent  standards  of  diversification  and  liquidity,  and  limit  the  allowable  holdings  of  a  single  issue  and 
issuers.  We  are  also  subject  to  custodial  credit  risk  on  our  investments,  which  we  manage  by  diversifying  our 
holdings amongst large financial institutions that are highly regulated.

We have exposure to credit risk on certain of our assets pledged to ceding companies under insurance contracts. In 
addition,  we  are  potentially  exposed  should  any  insurance  intermediaries  be  unable  to  fulfill  their  contractual 
obligations with respect to payments of balances owed to and by us.

Credit risk exists in relation to (re)insurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses. We remain liable to 
the  extent  that  counterparties  do  not  meet  their  contractual  obligations  and,  therefore,  we  evaluate  and  monitor 
concentration of credit risk among our (re)insurers. 

We are also subject to credit risk in relation to funds held by reinsured companies. Under funds held arrangements, 
the reinsured company has retained funds that would otherwise have been remitted to our reinsurance subsidiaries. 
The funds are not typically placed into trust or subject to other security arrangements. However, we generally have 
the contractual ability to offset any shortfall in the payment of the funds held balances with amounts owed by us. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  had  funds  held  concentrations  to  reinsured  companies  exceeding  10%  of 
shareholders’ equity of $5.0 billion (December 31, 2021: $4.4 billion) in aggregate. 

We  limit  the  amount  of  credit  exposure  to  any  one  counterparty  and  none  of  our  counterparty  credit  exposures, 
excluding  U.S.  government  instruments  and  the  reinsurance  counterparties  noted  above,  exceeded  10%  of 
shareholders’  equity  as  of  December  31,  2022.  As  of  December  31,  2022  our  credit  exposure  to  the  U.S. 
government was $945 million (December 31, 2021: $1.2 billion). 

Legal Proceedings

We  are,  from  time  to  time,    involved  in  various  legal  proceedings  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  including 
litigation  and  arbitration  regarding  claims.  Estimated  losses  relating  to  claims  arising  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business,  including  the  anticipated  outcome  of  any  pending  arbitration  or  litigation,  are  included  in  the  liability  for 
losses  and  LAE  in  our  consolidated  balance  sheets.  In  addition  to  claims  litigation,  we  may  be  subject  to  other 
lawsuits  and  regulatory  actions  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  which  may  involve,  among  other  things, 
allegations of underwriting errors or omissions, employment claims or regulatory activity. We do not believe that the 
resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material 
effect  on  our  business,  results  of  operations  or  financial  condition.  We  anticipate  that,  similar  to  the  rest  of  the 
(re)insurance industry, we will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course 
of business, including litigation generally related to the scope of coverage with respect to A&E and other claims.
Unfunded Investment Commitments

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  had  unfunded  commitments  of  $1.8  billion  to  other  investments  and  $18  million  to 
privately held equity.

Guarantees

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  parental  guarantees  supporting  reinsurance  obligations,  defendant  A&E 
liabilities, subsidiary capital support arrangements and credit facilities were $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion respectively. 
We  also  guarantee  the  2040  and  2042  Junior  Subordinated  Notes,  which  have  an  aggregate  principal  amount  of 
$850 million55 as of December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: $350 million).

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest 

We have the right to purchase the RNCI interests from the RNCI holders after March 31, 2023 (each such right, a

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Transactions

Enhanzed Re

In  November  2022,  Enhanzed  Re  completed  a  novation  of  the  reinsurance  closed  block  of  life  annuity  policies  to 
Monument  Re  Limited  (“Monument  Re”).  We  settled  the  life  liabilities  and  the  related  assets  at  carrying  value  in 
return for cash consideration as of the closing date. In addition, effective January 1, 2023, we will adopt the LDTI 
standard, which will result in changes to the liability for future policyholder benefits as a result of the unlocking of 
discount  rate  assumptions.  We  have  determined  that  the  impact  of  adopting  this  standard  will  be  a  reduction  in 
future policy holder benefits and an increase to a separate component of AOCI as of January 1, 2023 of between 
$340 and $380 million.

As at September 30, 2022, the carrying value of the life liabilities and related assets was $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, 
respectively,  which  we  would  record  as  other  income  of  $328  million,  if  measured  as  of  this  date.  This  amount 
consists of both the gain or loss on the novation transaction and the reclassification of the component of AOCI to 
earnings.  

• Our  net  earnings  attributable  to  Enstar  will  be  reduced  by  the  amount  attributable  to  Allianz’s  24.9% 
noncontrolling interest in Enhanzed Re at the time of the transaction and a portion of our other income recorded 
will be subject to deferral over the expected settlement period for the life annuity policies to account for our pre-
existing 20% ownership interest in Monument Re, resulting in an expected overall increase in our first quarter 
2023 net earnings of $197 million from the novation.

•

Activity for the period from October 1, 2022 to November 7, 2022 will impact the amount of other income and 
net earnings recorded.  

On December 28, 2022, Enhanzed Re repurchased the entire 24.9% ownership interest Allianz held in Enhanzed 
Re  for  $174  million.  The  purchase  price  will  be  subject  to  a  post-closing  adjustment  based  on  the  final  net  book 
value  of  Enhanzed  Re  as  of  December  31,  2022.  Following  the  completion  of  this  transaction,  Enhanzed  Re 
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar.  

The final impact of the novation and the share repurchase will be reflected in our first quarter 2023 results, as we 
report the results of Enhanzed Re on a one quarter reporting lag. 

QBE LPT

On  February  16,  2023,  certain  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  entered  into  an  LPT  agreement  with  certain 
subsidiaries  of  QBE  Insurance  Group  Limited  (“QBE”)  relating  to  a  diversified  portfolio  of  business,  covering 
International and North America financial lines, European and North American reinsurance portfolios and several US 
discontinued programs. The transaction is effective as of January 1, 2023. 

The LPT agreement covers ground up net loss reserves of $1.9 billion and provides an additional $900 million of 
cover  on  business  underwritten  between  2010  and  2018.  Upon  completion,  a  portion  of  the  portfolio  currently 
underwritten via QBE’s Lloyd’s Syndicates 386 and 2999 will be transferred to Enstar’s Syndicate 2008. The closing 
of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions. 

RACQ

On  February  21,  2023,  one  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  entered  into  an  agreement  with  RACQ  Insurance 
Limited  (“RACQ”)  to  reinsure  80%  of  RACQ’s  motor  vehicle  Compulsory  Third  Party  (“CTP”)  insurance  liabilities, 
covering accident years 2021 and prior.

The  reinsurance  agreement  is  effect  as  of  July  1,  2022.  RACQ  will  cede  net  reserves  of AUD  $360  million  (USD 
$245 million), and our subsidiary will provide AUD $200 million (USD $136 million) of additional cover in excess of 
the ceded reserves. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Information of Registrant 

The  Condensed  Financial  Information  of  Registrant  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  our  consolidated  financial 
statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in Part II - Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our 
wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries are recorded based upon our proportionate share of our subsidiaries' 
net assets (similar to presenting them on the equity method). 

Net investment income relates to interest on loans to subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 
and 2020, interest paid was $47 million, $41 million, and $47 million, respectively. 

Investing activities in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows primarily represents the flow of funds to and from 
subsidiaries to provide cash on hand to fund business acquisitions and significant new business. 

Non-Cash investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, included:

i.

$600  million,  $0  and  $130  million,  respectively,  for  dividends  and  return  of  capital  from  subsidiaries.  In  2022, 
these  transactions  represent  an  intercompany  transfer  of  equities  at  book  value  and  an  increase  in  balances 
due from subsidiaries resulting in a decrease in investments in subsidiaries.  In 2020, these transactions were to 
settle  intercompany  balances,  resulting  in  a  net  reduction  in  balances  due  to  subsidiaries  and  a  decrease  in 
investments in subsidiaries.

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  parental  guarantees  supporting  reinsurance  obligations,  defendant  A&E 
liabilities, subsidiary capital support arrangements and credit facilities were $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion. In addition, 
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were $135 million and $210 million, respectively, of unsecured letters of 
credit  for  FAL  which  have  a  parental  guarantee.  Furthermore,  as  of  December  31,  2022,  we  also  guarantee  the 
Junior Subordinated Notes issued in 2020 and 2022 for an aggregate principal amount of $850 million (December 
31, 2021 $350 million).

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, retained earnings were $4.4 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, a decrease of 
$906 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to the net loss of $906 million.

ITEM  9.  CHANGES  IN  AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON 
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief 
Financial  Officer,  we  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in  Rules 
13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  as  of  December  31,  2022.  Based  on  that  evaluation,  our  Chief 
Executive  Officer  and  our  Chief  Financial  Officer  have  concluded  that  we  maintained  effective  disclosure  controls 
and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we 
file  or  submit  under  the  Exchange Act  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported,  within  the  time  periods 
specified  in  the  SEC's  rules  and  forms,  and  that  such  information  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to  our 
management,  including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  as  appropriate,  to  allow  timely 
decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  (as 
defined  in  Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  of  the  Exchange  Act).  Our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a 
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation 
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may 
become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the  policies  or 
procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief 
Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2022, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our 
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

The  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022  has  been 
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report 
which appears herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended 
December  31,  2022  that  have  materially  affected,  or  are  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  our  internal  control 
over financial reporting.
